I like creating villains.

As long as we remember a person, they're not really gone. Their thoughts, their feelings, their memories, they become a part of us.

I have any number of completely dark obsessions and fascinations, and none of this was present in my profile or my growing profile as a writer.

The world was a world of dreaming souls who could not die.

There's an outline for each of the books that I adhere to pretty closely, but I'm not averse to taking it in a new direction, as long as I can get it back to where I need it to go.

Don't we all deserve forgiveness? I hope we do; I believe we do. Forgiveness says as much about the character of the person bestowing it as the person receiving it. Learning to forgive may be the most difficult of human acts,and the closest thing to divinity, whatever you decide that is.
