There is some conflict between religion and science in my world, but that's nothing new. Science, at its root, is a rational discipline. Religion, on the other hand, is fundamentally trans-rational.

She looked at me. What? Is there something wrong with my idea? It's not very heroic, I said dismissively. I was expecting something with a little more flair. Well, I left my armor and warhorse at home, she said. You're just upset because your big University brain couldn't think of a way, and my plan is brilliant.

That was another lesson I had learned perhaps too well: people meant pain.

Music sounds different to the one who plays it. It is the musician's curse.

Don't get me wrong, magic is cool. But a nervous mother singing to her child at night while something moves quietly through the dark outside her house? That's a story. Handled properly, it's more dramatic than any apocalypse or goblin army could ever be.

When you love something, you have to make sure it loves you back, or you'll bring about no end of trouble chasing it.

One reason we love fiction is because stories have a comforting shape. They provide a resolution that's lacking in our regular lives.

I need you to breathe for me.

Fantasy is a genre that allows me to create anything I want. That, in turn, allows me to explore any sort of idea I'm curious about. I love it because Fantasy is a genre that asks, What if...? That's my favorite question.

Some tropes are universal. Boy meets girl. Betrayal and revenge. The search to discover a hidden truth.... A mother's love isn't cliché, it's universal. These things are archetypes. They're the building blocks of myth and legend. They are a big part about what it means to be human.

The cost of a loaf is a simple thing, and so a loaf is often sought, but some things are past valuing: laughter, land, and love are never bought.

I'm just very careful with my words when I write. Obsessively careful. I'm the sort of person who worries about the difference between slim and slender.

I think the tendency to over-explain and over describe is one of the most common failings in fantasy. It's an unfortunate piece of Tolkien's legacy.
