For me the end of a book is just as exciting as it is for a reader.

I like books that are exciting and that make you think about things as well.

Even now I try to make each page compelling for the readers to get absorbed in the book.

The important thing about any book is that you have to have a good story and that it has to be exciting. Then it's nice to add other levels underneath that people can pick up on.

Since I spend such a long time making each book, I only choose books that I'm really interested in and that I really love.

For me, as a fan, when I read book series, I tend to be the most judgmental of the last book.

Any time you can take a book a little beyond the realm of pure entertainment, I think it's a good thing. But I don't really have it on my to-do list when I write a book. It just evolves naturally during the process of immersing yourself in a subject.

My books are primarily plot driven but the best plot in the world is useless if you don't populate them with characters that readers can care about.

One of the reasons why I don't write the same kind of book again and again is that I get bored very easily, so I like to make things interesting for myself.

Listen, I wrote 10 unsuccessful books before I broke through, so I'm looking all the time to keep my books fascinating. I want to write what people want to read, not push any message.
