I have always been fascinated by the supernatural elements in stories, whether fairy tales, myths, film or literature.

Inspiration comes from so many sources. Music, other fiction, the non-fiction I read, TV shows, films, news reports, people I know, stories I hear, misheard words or lyrics, dreams... Motivation? The memory of the rush I get from a really good writing session - even on a bad day, I know I'll find that again if I keep going.

I don't have any specific plans to return to the 'Age of the Five.' If I do, it won't be a sequel.
