I love my fans, because they are such a wide demographic. They go from everything from teens to 50+. I have a wide romance following, and a wide following among people - especially men - who have a violent background, military or police or whatever.

When sex is necessary for the plot of a book, or a character development, then I don't shy away from it. Why should I?

My writing has changed a great deal, as any writer's will after a decade. My writing has become more lush, richer. I can be sparse and minimalistic when I want to be, or I can wrap the sensuality of the words across the paper. It's a choice now, rather than a happy accident.

You either mellow at 30, or your head explodes - take your choice.

My first book, Nightseer, was much more traditional fantasy, in the vein of Robert E. Howard meets Tolkien. It was meant to be the first of a series.

Readers respond to every genre intensely, if it's a genre that appeals to them. Again, who can say why anyone enjoys horror and dark fantasy? If I can't answer the question for myself, I wouldn't dream of trying to answer it for others.

I knew almost nothing about voodoo. That was the biggest paranormal research I had to do. Guns and police procedure were the other area I had to research. I didn't know nearly enough about either.

The greatest challenge to writing in someone else's world is abiding by their rules. I like playing by my rules in my own world.

Here's the secret to finishing that first book. Don't rewrite as you go.

In the book, if it's something really horrible, my rule is that it's either something I've already heard or read, or it's something that's impossible without my magic system. Some of the strangest little throw-away items, things that have happened to victims in my books, I didn't make up. I'd researched it.

I don't write about scary things. I write about what comes to me.

I like conventions. I like meeting and greeting. I'm perched on that edge where I'm getting more attention than I quite know what to do with, though.

I've always been attracted to ghoulies and ghosties. As early as 5 I was begging to watch horror movies.

I've had to be very careful when I use real settings and homes, to make sure people can't find them. Now I'm much more cautious about giving directions to places.

One of the things that puzzled me in most horror novels was the level of punishment for sex. Sex of almost any kind either caused horrible things to happen, or was punished by death, or possession, or other terrible things.

Now that I'm being very successful, publishers are trying to mainstream me, but I'm unabashedly genre. It's what I like to read, what I like to write.

Nightseer was my first novel, ever, so I will always have a great deal of affection for the world and the characters. My first dream realized.

I haven't found a point in love scenes that I feel is off-limits, yet. I do avoid medical terms, clinical phrases.

I never do last words. They always seem so final.

Some people just don't seem to understand the concept of fiction. It is fiction; it ain't true, folks.
