I think the best part of being an author is that I get to learn about anything I want and explain it away as research.

We understand how dangerous a mask can be. We all become what we pretend to be.

I was reluctant to talk about my kids on the blog. I kept telling myself, "People aren't coming here for stories about your kids. They want to hear about the upcoming books, writing advice, conventions..."

We need to read good books, and for that to happen, we need to share good books.

That is like throwing two virgins into a bed. Enthusiasm, passion, and ignorance are not a good combination. Someone is likely to get hurt.

Some people are going to be impatient no matter what. If I wrote two books a year, someone out there would be pissed I wasn't writing three.

Anger can keep you warm at night, and wounded pride can spur a man to wondrous things.
