The older I get, the more my curiosity grows, and every book I write is a new exploration.

I'm incurably nosey - so naturally I'm a great reader.

If fiction changes things, it's usually because it's a powerful way of exploring social issues. And it helps us to understand people who are different from us.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

I've had a fantastic time at 'Coronation Street,' and I'm chuffed at the reaction to Becky. It's been this lovely redemption story, and I think that's what the viewers have enjoyed about it.

I am thrilled to get the chance to write comics - and to tell Forgotten Realms tales, to boot!
