True and baseless evil is as rare as the purest good--and we all know how rare that is...

Don't ever call me mad, Mycroft. I'm not mad. I'm just ... well, differently moraled, that's all.

Agents and publishers only want one thing - good writing.

It took me ten years and seven books to bag an agent - it took me that long to start writing good.

I started writing because I wanted to write scripts, but I wasn't very good at it. Then I started writing short stories, sort of as treatments for the film scripts, and I found I enjoyed writing short stories far more than I enjoyed writing film scripts. Then the short stories got longer and longer and suddenly, I had novels.

I have a very varied taste in music. Everything from rap to classical to Latino to Rat Pack to jazz.
