In the Forest of Forgetting do you remember any romances? All the relationships in those stories are dark and twisted - people fall in love, but they really shouldn't have. There's even a story about a marriage, but it focuses on a woman who marries a bear!

The Thorn and The Blossom can be read from either side - you can choose whether to read it from Brendan's or Evelyn's perspective first, and each one will give you a different sense of what happens in the story.

The book itself [The Thorn and The Blossom] is bound accordion-style: it has no spine, so it can open in either direction, and it's in a slipcase.

I see so many talented writers who have difficulties with that. And if you don't believe it's important, you won't put in the work you need to.

So much work went into this book [ "The Thorn & The Blossom"] - you can probably tell from looking at the art and overall design.

I think part of my purpose in this life is to talk about magic, and to make it.

It happened the way I come up with any story, which is that I took elements of my own life and put them into the story, but in a very mixed-up way.
