Anything that can be dreamed is true.

From a very young age my mother persuaded me that I could write for fun, but I had to have a proper job - very good advice.

Library-denigrators, pay heed:suggesting that the Internet is a viable substitute for libraries is like saying porn could replace your wife.

Remember, it's the winners write the history books, and the losers get the leavings.

I let it go. It's like swimming against the current. It exhausts you. After a while, whoever you are, you just have to let go, and the river brings you home.

I love it when my books cause controversy, when people argue violently about the ending.

I don't listen to music when I'm writing, but I often do when I'm reworking, editing or when I need to relax.
