I think I've finally learned to stop worrying about how big the gaps are between my novels' publication.

I give people If You Came Softly when they demand proof that novels for teens can be as good as the best novels for adults.

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!

My favourite vampires are all very scary indeed. So the idea of falling in love with one is just weird to me.

I'm almost back to being able to write as much as six hours a day .

I discovered the writing of Kirsty Eagar and was blown away. Everyone needs to read her now.

I re-read The History of White People by Nell Irvin Painter. It's a book every one should read, particularly Americans, as the USA is her primary focus. Her book demonstrates that white is not universal, that white is not neutral, that it has a history, which she eloquently delineates. It's not often you finish a book understanding how the world operates better than before you read it.
