I always hope that the artwork will complement and enrich a story.

I think a lot of things are at play when children enjoy a grisly old fairytale. I don't think many children take it literally, or rather it's quite clear to them that it's only a story, only make believe.

Since I tend to write chronologically, the middle is always the place where the process is most taxing.

If some readers take away the idea that animals deserve better treatment in general, then I certainly won't argue.

People of different ethnicities are definitely not of differing species. Biologically speaking, people are people.

Historical atrocities have certainly shown that dehumanizing any group is the first step toward genocide.

I always hope that the artwork will complement and enrich a story.
