I'm an escapist kind of writer.
Money doesn't make you happy, but it gives a zone of comfort around you.
I've had a good life, full of more success and happiness than I ever expected.
Always write as if you are talking to someone. It works. Don't put on any fancy phrases or accents or things you wouldn't say in real life.
I'm getting better, happier, and nicer as I grow older, so I would be terrific in a couple of hundred years time.
All I ever wanted to do is to write stories that people will enjoy and feel at home with.
