Q: If you could travel back in time, which of the great writers would you like to meet and why?
A: If I had to choose just one, it would be J. R. Tolkien. I’m not sure he’d enjoy the meeting though, as I feel it would turn quickly into an interrogation.
Q: What is the first book you remember reading or having read to you as a child?
A: When I was a small child, my mother read The Berenstain Bears and the Spooky Old Tree to me just about every night. It still hasn’t gotten old.
Q: Do you have a lucky writing talisman? If so, what is it?
A: I haven’t found it yet. For now, I just make do with a full cup of coffee.
Q: Do you have a favourite quote? (From a book, film, song, speech…)
A: ‘No, I would not want to live in a world without dragons, as I would not want to live in a world without magic, for that is a world without mystery, and that is a world without faith.’ − R.A. Salvatore.
Q: What superpower would you like to have and why?
A: The power to stop time, so I could waste it with less consequence.
