One Must Commit Acts Of The Highest

I'm Lucky To Have A Job Doing Something I Really Love To Do, And I'm Happy To Accept The Pressures Of Relentless Deadlines Or Reader Expectations As Necessary Evils. It's Probably Not As Stressful As Mining Coal Or Leading Men Into Battle.

I Write Every Day, For Most Of The Day, So It's Just About Turning Into Metaphor Whatever's Going On In My Life, In The World, And In My Head. Every Nightmare, Every Moment Of Grief Or Joy Or Failure, Is A Moment I Can Convert Into Cash Via Words. I Use Everything. Turning Life Into Stories Is How I Make Sense Of My Experience.

If This Book Has Made Any Point Clear, I Hope It's That Things Don't Have To Be Real To Be True. Or Vice Versa.

I Don't Ignore Continuity, And Try My Best To Stick As Closely To The Current Status Quo As Possible, But It's Not My Primary Concern When I Start A Story.

I Was Always Interested In Myths Growing Up. So, First I Got Into Some Roman Myths, Then I Was Interested In Norse, Then Celtic, Then I Started Spreading To All The Other Mythologies.
