I like to write stories that read like historical fiction about great, world-changing events through the lens of a flawed protagonist.

I'm not a great reader of historical fiction; it's not my favourite genre.

There are some things you never say good-bye to

But just then, for that fraction of time, it seems as though all things are possible. You can look across the limitations of your own life, and see that they are really nothing. In that moment when time stops, it is as though you know you could undertake any venture, complete it and come back to yourself, to find the world unchanged, and everything just as you left it a moment before. And it's as though knowing that everything is possible, suddenly nothing is necessary.

I'm a huge historical fiction and non-fiction fan.

All that that I learn just teaches me that I know nothing.
