What I want to write about has changed somewhat, and the scope of the storytelling has changed accordingly.

The Golden Compass is one of the best fantasy / adventure stories that I have read. This is a book no one should miss.

You shouldn't believe everything you hear you're young, not stupid.

Deception is mostly a game we play with ourselves.

Anyway, several rewrites later, Del Rey Books did publish my first novel, and it did become the first work of fiction on the New York Times trade paperback bestseller list.

I am incomplete without my work. I am so closely bound to it, so much identified by it, that without it I think I would crumble into dust and drift away.

We forget that what matters begins with the imagination.
