Enjoy! :)

I've not read any of his books but great interview. I've put his Arthur book on my list. Thanks, Tracy.

Glad you enjoyed it SusieM and Here Lies Arthur is a wonderful book.

Claudia

Well, I was fascinated by his comments about his disfigured heroine. A brave decision to make really, but it obviously has worked.
I liked his advice 'just write, really' - and his comment about following story writing rules being a potentially dangerous one.
Couldn't agree more!
Thanks for posting the link, Tracy.

Good interview. I liked the sound of the heroine with the facial scars, too. I haven't read his books but will do so now.

Tracy

Glad you enjoyed the interview Rosalie. :)

Thanks for this Tracy. I love Mortal Engines which my sister-in-law bought for my son years ago. As with most series however I like the first one best and run out of steam with the rest of the quartet.
