My goals for myself have changed as my career has evolved and as I've grown as a writer.

Honestly, I think there's a cycle to the popularity of fantasy and fairytales that usually coincides with times of unrest or hardship in our own world. By retelling these legends or immersing ourselves in fantasy realms, we can safely explore the very real, very day-to-day darkness of our own lives.

I think of myself as a fantasy writer.

I don't think I'll ever stop being grateful to my readers for everything they've done for me.

For me, dance is about the aesthetics and the hard work that goes into creating something so beautiful. Motivation and dedication to the craft is what pushes me to do my best, to always strive to do better, and the outcome is always worth it.

The music comes first. When Geoff has made something the inspiration comes automatically. His music is very expressive. But still is is a very difficult process: I have to add something to his music, not push it away. It has to be equal, and I find that very difficult.

I don't wait for inspiration. I get up and write every day.

Science sometimes falls short when trying to fathom the depths of our essence - and our inspiration comes from that essence.
