In fact, writing for younger adults is tougher. They remember everything and if they spot a problem, they'll be sure to let you know.

Marethyu stretched out his right hand and Aten took it in his. Let me tell you this, the hook-handed man said. We will meet again,you and I,in a different place and a different time. You know this to be true? I do. Because you have seen the future? Because I have been there.

You need to play to win. But you also need to win ... to play.

Some writing courses will advise you to write what you know. I've always thought this is very odd advice ... because it means, for example, that I should not be writing about Nicholas Flamel, because I didn't live in France in the 15th Century, I was not an alchemyst, am not immortal (despite the rumours) and do not know magic.

Often the greatest act of courage is admitting that one has made a mistake...Follow your hearts. Protect one another, trust one another, because, at the end of the day, all of these people want something from you, or want you to do something for them, or be something that you are not. Your own responsibility is to one another.

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.

I'm always writing - its what I like to do. But when I'm not writing, I'm reading.

A good story is always a journey. It is about taking the journey, the people the hero meets along the way and how they change him or her. All stories are journeys. They don't have to be shocking or outrageous: they simply have to be interesting.

Ah. In my experience, when people say they don't know whether they love someone, they usually mean no.
