I tend not to reread books, because there's always something new to discover, but Dorothy Sayers is a comfort grab for me - there's no mood so bleak or cold so bad that Lord Peter and Bunter can't make it right.

I have opinions, sure, but they're mine, not something I'm going to insist everyone else take as any kind of gospel.

I read a lot of true-crime books, but sometimes they can put you in a bad mood.

When I first started working on 'Staying Dead,' I got some well-meaning but negative feedback from industry folk because - back in 2001 - epic fantasy was still the big thing, alternate history a tight runner-up.

New York is such a versatile city, and there's always something new to discover.

When I'm in a bad mood, I don't listen.
