I want to make it so that so many things happen... that you didn't expect would happen in this series, that you realize that you have to read every one of them.
Each book will have a lot of cliffhangers, because I like that.
We wanted to write the first prequels as a story that anyone could pick up.
I always turn in my books on time, so you can always count on a book coming out when it's supposed to.
I had a minor in Russian history, and this was at the time when the big Cold War was going on.
My total year's income from working as hard as I possibly could from writing went from like $30 one year to about $70 the next year. And it made me realize that maybe you couldn't really pay the rent that way.
Over the years, I've trained myself to speak using the same language I would use if I were typing: meaning using full sentences in the way that paragraphs and scenes are arranged.
