He is many things - dangerous and devious, cunning and deadly, a good friend and an implacable enemy - but he comes from an age when a man's word was indeed precious.
Michael Scott
I was brought up in a home where I saw my parents read and I was taken to bookshops and libraries, so I grew up feeling very comfortable around books. Also, Ireland is a country which has honoured its writers and poets, so when someone says they wanted to be a writer, its not mocked or looked down upon.

Water is the life-giver and the death-bringer.
Michael Scott
Ah. In my experience, when people say they don't know whether they love someone, they usually mean no.
Michael Scott
Leader. Ship. The word 'ship' is hidden inside the word 'leadership,' as its... derivation.
Michael Scott
I wanted to be a librarian from a very young age. Some of my earliest memories are being taken to the local library. I ended up working as a bookseller. Becoming a writer was the logical offshoot of being a reader.
Michael Scott
We're all homos. Homo sapiens.
Michael Scott
Making sure that the geography and timelines work is always the hardest part of writing. But you owe it to the readers to get it right!
