The appeal of writing a romance was that I'd never written one before the The Thorn and The Blossom.

Sometimes you have to follow your uncommon sense.

I loved writing something I'd never written before, and I wanted to write not just about "true love" but also a human relationship.

Perhaps it’s when you come to the realization that the point of life isn’t to be rich, or secure, or even to be loved - to be any of the things that people usually think is the point. The point of life is to live as deeply as possible, to experience fully. And that can be done in so many ways.

Nature inspires me continually. Today, I can look out my window and see the entire world covered with snow. It's like Narnia under the White Witch.

I'm working on a poetry collection for Papaveria Press . It fills me with trepidation - poetry is something I'm much more self-conscious about than prose.

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