I am of the generation of writers who can get instant feedback from readers within hours of publication. The fan forum is extraordinary - readers from all over the world coming together to discuss, argue and debate scenes and characters from a novel. They add a layer to the story that I cannot write and yes, I will participate in that conversation and answer questions. After all, they are the people I'm writing for and their enthusiasm and questions really pushes me to raise the bar.

Just as a pebble thrown into the water creates ripples, so our thoughts create similar effects on our palms.

First up, the lost and found has gone missing. It itself, is lost. So please try not to lose anything until we find it.

Once you have been touched by magic, you are forever changed. You leave a trail.

There was no honor in war, less in killing, and none in dying. But there was true dignity in how men comported themselves in battle. And there was always honor to be found in standing for a just cause and defending the defenseless.

In my experience, we only ever regret the things we have not done.

I'm probably better known in the US as a YA writer, I have a huge body of adult horror and fantasy behind me.
