Magic is wild, dangerous stuff. You never realize how useful limitations are until it's much too late.

People - me included - want to get excited about books. Good books are a good thing.

It's very important, at least to me as a writer, that there be some rules on the table when I'm writing. Rules come from genres. You're writing in a genre, there are rules, which is great because then you can break the rules. That's when really exciting things happen.

I mean, when you're tired of book reviews, you're tired of life.

It turns out that there is something that can compete with free: easy.

There's a special gut-check moment the first time you write a scene in which somebody casts a spell.

It's time to live with what we have and mourn what we lost.
