I get work because I'm primarily a novelist but I've become script doctor. I can work back and forth between French and English.

As a child, I read science fiction, but from the very beginnings of my reading for pleasure, I read a lot of non-fictional history, particularly historical biography.

I write in American slang.

I must admit to being greatly influenced by Joseph Campbell's The Hero With a Thousand Faces.

The opprobrium of assholes is a badge of honor.

There are certain things that ordinary people have that celebrities don't have.

I believe that interest in heroes is universal and eternal.
