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

No, no, no - you don't argue with concepts. You have to claim Dogma, and therefore leave no room for rational thought.

I want to make it so that so many things happen... that you didn't expect would happen in this series, that you realize that you have to read every one of them.

We sat around on a hotel balcony with a bottle of wine and tried to figure out how you would go about blowing up a planet. That's the kind of conversations science fiction writers have when they get together. We don't talk about football or anything like that.

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.

The best place to start an adventure is with a quiet, perfect life . . . and someone who realizes that it can’t possibly be enough.

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