The best thing about being a writer is the freedom to create whatever I feel like creating. And I think the potential to tell stories that shed some light on the human condition, that reflect social issues, that make people think and inspire a dialogue is, for me, what literature has always been about. People may think it's all just words and that writing is a secondhand experience and reading is an even more removed experience, but I really believe in the transformative effect of books...I mean, if books had no power, ignorant people wouldn't burn them, right?

Hi! I read and loved The Vitruvian Heir! I was wondering how you came up with some of the more interesting parts of the Vitruvian world you created in your book...like the galateans, particularly the Arnaud story, and all the strange technologies that are futuristic but also seem old fashioned?
