There are whole months at a time when my head is so full of ideas that I wake in the middle of the night and lie in the dark telling myself stories. There are also long, dark nights when I just know I'll never write another word: I'm finished, empty, a husk... Oh dear, yes, twitch, yawn, how I've suffered insomnia for my art.

I'm afraid there are no magical tips. There is no secret. Writing is all about telling stories as well as you can.

Books are time machines, transporting us out of our own lives into other times and other places.

No ideas are harmed in the making of my books, by the way. All I do with my best ideas is run with them, fast as I can, taking notes and occasionally suggesting a left hand turn rather than the right hand one which might have taken us both over a precipice.

Books are mind reading devices; they allow us free access to the thoughts and dreams of people we have never met.
