Goodreads asked Joseph Cillo Jr.:

If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?

Joseph Cillo Jr. What a terrifying question! Why would anyone want to live in a fictional world, subject to the whims of a fallen, human author when you can live in this wonderful, startling, real world created by the great Creator of all things?

I know what I do to characters in my books, so, no thanks, no fictional existence for me!

I'm living exactly where I want to live, doing exactly what I want to do, writing. The real world could be marginally improved if more people read what I write--especially, if they were willing to PAY to read what I write--but hopefully, no real person would ever want to take up residence in my stories.

I could not do what I do if real people were in what I write. I don't know how God does it, but that's what makes Him God.
