When I was little, I made up my own fairy tales, and the ghostly echo of Once upon a time shapes all the fiction Ive ever written.

My Sister Rosa was bumped from the schedule. None of my books has ever been bumped before. It freaked me out.

My experience with My Sister Rosa showed me, once again, that I have a much easier time of it if I sell my novels after I finish them, not before. I'm lucky that I'm in a position where I'm able to do that.

I am not Nostradamus.Nor would I want to be. I'm convinced being able to tell the future is the worst superpower. I'd rather be invisible and being invisible never ends well. Just read H. G. Wells!

We still have disgraceful policies on asylum seekers and Aboriginal Australians continue to die in custody.

Speaking out and creating art that truly reflects the world we live in goes part of the way towards doing that. At least that's what I hope.

The only reason I've ever had to wear a hat is to avoid skin cancer.
