I am 100 per cent Virgo, stubborn, over-organised, slightly abstracted from the rest of the world.

I talk to my readers on social networking sites, but I never tell them what the book is about. Writing is lonely, so from time to time I talk to them on the Internet. It's like chatting at a bar without leaving your office. I talk with them about a lot of things other than my books.

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.

Tears are words that need to be written.
