I fell into a deep sleep tucked in that little cocoon, a deeper sleep than I might of had in years. Right up until someone kicked me and said "Gotcha!
you're a diabolical little pyro, aren't you? He blushed modestly.
I don't know about the rest of you who have little voices, but something about mine made me feel completely compelled to listen to it.
Why, the little Voice inside my head, of course. You mean you don't have one? I did.
It was a little weird that they were friends. But then, maybe freaks just tended to find each other.
I saw the first episode of "The Walking Dead," and that's all I've seen. I thought it was good. I used to love zombies when I was little, but I don't like them the way I used to. I'm not knocking the show.
With my adult books, for the first six weeks or so, it's about 60 percent ebooks in terms of sales. The kids' books, it's like 5 percent. Which means that the parents, the ones that aren't going into stores now, they're no longer buying books for their kids, which is not great.

A lot of people like the idea of eternal love and eternal romance. The notion of love that is more profound and deeper because it is eternal is very powerful.
