ELANTRIS is a new BEN HUR for the fantasy genre, with a sweeping, epic storyline and closely personal characters.

If you had an alien race that looked like insects, then they would build robots to look like themselves, not to look like people.

I always turn in my books on time, so you can always count on a book coming out when it's supposed to.

I'm talking to you and it's basically a direct communication, whereas if I'm writing a letter to you and you read the letter, there are like 12 extra deconstruction and reconstruction steps in the communication.

Every spare second I would write, somehow. On my lunch hour, too.

I don't think the author should make the reader do that much work to remember who somebody is.

My total year's income from working as hard as I possibly could from writing went from like $30 one year to about $70 the next year. And it made me realize that maybe you couldn't really pay the rent that way.
