I like reading about the past. I'm definitely not a history buff, but I do read a bit of history now and again, and to do that for work is really exciting.

I could write historical fiction, or science fiction, or a mystery but since I find it fascinating to research the clues of some little know period and develop a story based on that, I will probably continue to do it.

Even in high school I was very interested in history - why people do the things they do. As a kid I spent a lot of time trying to relate the past to the present.

The illusion is that most of my work is simply about past events: a point in history and nothing else.

I tend to like to read history - recent history, because I find that much more intriguing than just a writer's imagination.

The only thing that interests me is history - reviewing the past and making something out of it.

Any period is fascinating: the more ancient, the better.

I've been completely fascinated with history because it tells everything about what's going to happen next because it's cyclical, everything repeats in general.

So history is fertile territory for me and I think I could feel happy with any period of history, provided I had the right sources and the necessary time for the initial research.

I like historical things; I like researching things.
