The day we fret about the future is the day we leave our childhood behind.

I have a blog where I keep in touch with my fans. I write about things that are important to me. Sometimes on there I'll just tell a little story about the things that happen in my everyday life. People seem to enjoy them well enough.

Fantasy is a genre that allows me to create anything I want. That, in turn, allows me to explore any sort of idea I'm curious about. I love it because Fantasy is a genre that asks, "What if...?" That's my favorite question.

You have to be a bit of a liar to tell a story the right way.

Why would I want to win anything other than a beautiful game?

Fencing is more a sport than a martial art. It would be like basing your knowledge of roman phalanx warfare on NFL football.

Generally my favorite remarks always come from my readers. I've had people say my books made them laugh, or cry, or that it frightened them late at night.
