I try to write the books I would love to come upon that are honest, concerned with real lives, human hearts, spiritual transformation, families, secrets, wonder, craziness - and that can make me laugh.

There's this creative thing in me that wants to have my work used - like the author of a book who wants it read.

I dreamed of having a book of my own, of writing one that I could put on a shelf.

I wanted to see if I could write a good book.

I wanted to portray very, very dark subject matter and a deceptively complex story in the brightest colours and simplest lines possible to leave the readers reeling.

Jeffrey Zeldman had an astonishing ability to craft a seductive coolness using educated references, dry humor, and retro/organic imagery.

With fantasy, one often has to think of a well-loved series before narrowing the selection to a favourite book. So it is with Zelazny. I've read his 'Princes in Amber' books so often, I know them almost verbatim, so much so that I am now trying to forget them so I can return to them with renewed pleasure.

I thought it was amazing to work with authors, to get a manuscript and try to make up a cover for it.

A whole album to one writer - now that would be really interesting.
