I enjoy the Web site a lot and I like being able to talk to my readers. I've always had a very close relationship with them.

I do want to go another way - to write something completely different.

I do not read the ancient languages, but I am beginning to study Greek.

I claim Dickens as a mentor. He's my teacher. He's one of my driving forces.

I can't keep up with Stephen King's output.

I can't get very far away from Christianity, I can't get very far away from the angels and the saints. I work them in always, in some way.

I broke with my religion in college.

First-person narrators is the way I know how to write a book with the greatest power and chance of artistic success.

Dickens is a very underrated writer at the moment. Everyone in his time admired him but I think right now he's not spoken of enough.

Evil is always possible. Goodness is a difficulty.
