Ive never seen myself as a fantasy writer-ever.
I write about what interests me. It's very dangerous when you try to satisfy an audience.
I had always liked blind dates. If nothing else, it was an interesting way of discovering what people thought of you.
At a Boston signing, someone from the audience asked why I was so obsessed with furniture in my books. The question rattled around in my head. I had no idea that I was obsessed with furniture.
I have never heard anyone say This is it. I know right now is the high point of my life. It will never get any better. Only in retrospect do we recognize the best times and of course then it is too late.
