If Edgar Allen Poe's classic line "I dwelt alone in a world of moan" (from his poem "Eulalie") were converted into a series of novels, you might end up with something like the Gormenghast trilogy. If that doesn't sound like your cup of tea . . . well ...more | |

1: What is your inspiration?
2. If you weren't a writer what would you be?
3. A favourite author?
4. How is your new sci-fi novel going?
5. Any motivation for young author out in the world?
