If I write when I'm low, it will be a dark song, but I don't care. I want to be honest with myself at all times. ↗

One of my rules is never explain. A writer is a lot like a magician, if you explain how the trick works then a lot of the magic turns mundane. ↗

I am a very linear thinker, so I write beginning to end. I write hundreds of pages per book that never make it into print. ↗

Now that I'm being very successful, publishers are trying to mainstream me, but I'm unabashedly genre. It's what I like to read, what I like to write. ↗
