I never plan ahead, with the exception of the Amber books which had to proceed in sequence. But I don't really like to know what I'm going to be working on a year in advance. So I just sign blank contracts for books and whatever strikes me as a good idea is what I write about.

Do you work for the government, any government?” I pay taxes, which means I work for the government, part of the time. Yes.

My mind spun for a second before it drifted, and in that second I knew that of all pleasures a drink of cold water when you are thirsty, liquor when you are not, sex, a cigarette after many days without one there is none of them can compare with sleep. Sleep is best.

Strygalldwir is my name. Conjure with it and I will eat your heart and liver. Conjure with it? I can't even pronounce it, and my cirrhosis would give you indigestion.
