Belgium is a country with a split personality.

I love experimental writing, when it's good, and good examples are much more likely to be found in the short form.

I've written over 100 short stories. You could say I'm obsessed with short stories.

Belgium is a country with a split personality.

Who was it recently invented some machine that will enable her to sign a book from 5,000 miles away? Margaret Atwood. Get off your arse, love, and sign it in person. Publishers and circumstance made you a bestselling author. Give a little back.

I never know exactly where I'm going with a story, whether it's a short story or a novel. If I did I'd soon grow bored of it. The fun, for me, is in the finding out and the making sense of it.

I always have lots of zany ideas for promotional stuff as publication nears.
