The best moment is when you walk into a bookstore and see a pile of your books - that is the oddest experience in the world!

They [my characters]speak to me all the time! In fact some of them never shut up!

The two that are one, the one that is all!

Making sure that the geography and timelines work is always the hardest part of writing. But you owe it to the readers to get it right!

Here words can kill - literally.

The secret to writing is writing. Lots of people I know talk about writing. They will tell me about the book they are going to write, or are thinking about writing, or may write some day in the future. And I know they will never do it. If someone is serious about writing, then they will sit down every day and put some words down on paper.

You must learn to heed your senses. Humans use but a tiny percentage of theirs. They barely look, they rarely listen, they never smell, and they think that they can only experience feelings through their skin. But they talk, oh, do they talk.
