I don't consciously try to take my readers on a journey as I don't really think about my readers when I'm writing. I just try to write what I feel passionately about, to tell a story down onto the page.

Being his real brother I could feel I live in his shadows, but I never have and I do not now. I live in his glow.

Everyone is interested in war, in that people don't want it to happen. I'm much more interested in peace than in war but it's important to understand why we fight.

But I didn’t dare. That has always been my trouble. I’ve never dared enough.

When I write I try as far as possible to forget I'm writing it at all. I tell it down onto the page, as if I'm telling it to one person only, my best friend.

cause when there's life there's still hope

I can hate you more, but I'll never love you less.
