My stories are often a little mysterious.

What I do is write, and I try to write as closely as I can into what I call 'the mystery.'

Everything I write comes from my childhood in one way or another. I am forever drawing on the sense of mystery and wonder and possibility that pervaded that time of my life.

I'm aware of the mystery around us, so I write about coincidences, premonitions, emotions, dreams, the power of nature, magic.

I sort of like writing about weird characters, I guess.

Write as precisely and as lucidly and as richly as you can about what you find truly mysterious and irreducible about human experience, and not obscurely about what will prove to be received opinion or cliche once the reader figures out your stylistic conceit. There's all the difference in the world between mystery and mystification.

The more things remain obscure and mysterious, the more they interest me. I even try to find mystery in things that have none.

I do not just write, I write what I am. If there is a secret, perhaps that is it.

I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat.

I write about the things I feel strongly about.
