I like to get to bed with a clear head.

Even when I am writing I usually take a break around lunchtime and go for a little walk to clear out my head.

The biggest risk with a series that goes on this long is that you'll get bored with the character.

I like crazy shoes or unusual cowboy boots and I collect big belt buckles.
