I don't write fantasy; I write historical novels about an imaginary place.

A hero is someone who simply got too frightened to use his good sense and run away, then somehow lived through it all.

Jigsaw Lady is the working title of a science fiction novel I've had in my head for darn near 15 years. I think I'll start work on it next year (in all my spare time) but I'd like to get it finished some day.

Some loves come unbidden like winds from the sea, and others grow from the seeds of friendship.

More men have been defeated by reports than all the steel of all the swords in history.

If you're going to risk dying, there's no sense doing it wet, cold and hungry unless absolutely necessary.

Friends can betray you, but with an old enemy, you always know where you stand.
