'Scalped' No. 1 was only the third comic script I'd ever written. I really learned a lot about writing on the fly with that series.

I don't go back and read my own stuff too much, but there are times where I second-guess myself and said I could have done something different, like a line of dialogue.

I don't really have any interest in doing Donald Blake stories. Maybe it's just I don't know what to do with that sort of alter ego.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

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

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.
