It was a brilliant idea to kill Caine off, I have to say. "In a blaze of glory." Was there any decision making when you decided to kill off Caine, or did you just randomly come up with it? If you did have a decision making process, what were the reasons for killing him off? (I just really have to know coz I ADORE killing off my characters and kinda need some guidelines there. xP)

As I was nearing the end of LIGHT I was still not sure, but I suspected it would go this way. I write improvisationally, figuring it out as I go along and I had a notion that one of the Big Four (Sam, Astrid, Diana and Caine) would have to die - redemption has always been a big theme with me. Then it just came together on the page.

I started reading your book, BZRK, a few days ago and I absolutely loved it. The way you write is so engaging for an audience. Sadie was definitely my favourite character in that book. How do you come up with an idea for a book? When you come up with the idea, what do you do to transform it into words?

Do you ever get so inspired by something that you can't wait to start writing, and you do, but its seems to be taking forever and you really want to finish this book to see how the overall thing happens, and what people think of it, but it's just taking so long, and then you start getting itchy.
