Biography
Quotes
- But fate, as Merlin always taught us, is inexorable. Life is a jest of the Gods, Merlin liked to claim, and there is no justice. You must learn to laugh, he once told me, or else you'll just weep yourself to death.

- Book tours and research provide a lot of travel - too much, I sometimes think, but we do take vacations.
