Ransom Riggs

In 'Hollow City,' I'm taking all the characters out of the lives they've been secure in for years and plunging them into the unknown. That's how you really get to know them.

I've always been interested in exploration and the history of exploring the world, but it seems like we've found everything now.

As writers, we have to make our own work - as bloggers, writing for video games, whatever we can do. Everyone breaks into the business in a different way.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

For many years I was engaged in journalism, writing articles and chronicles for the daily press without ever joining the staff of any newspaper.

I grew up sitting in my closet waiting to go Narnia.
