Goodreads asked Michael Varga:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Michael Varga The best thing about being a writer is that you can deal with serious consequences of assorted actions, but since they remain in the fictional world, the consequences only need to be thought of as affecting these fictional characters in this fictional world. There is such power in that for an author. And in telling a story, a reader can be transported to that fictional world, where nonetheless those consequences have great import.
