For the longest time I studied revenge to the exclusion of all else. I built my first torture chamber in the dark vaults of imagination. Lying on bloody sheets in the Healing Hall I discovered doors within my mind that I'd not found before, doors that even a child of nine knows should not be opened. Doors that never close again. I threw them wide.
The biggest lies we save for ourselves.
Hold to a thing long enough, a secret, a desire, maybe a lie, and it will shape you.
No half measures. Some things can’t be cut in half. You can’t half-love someone. You can’t half-betray, or half-lie.
When I started the 'Broken Empire' trilogy, I thought it was a short story, and I didn't know the beginning, middle, or end of even that.
I manage to read about one book a month, all fantasy these days.
I have a slightly crap blog where I opine on anything that occurs to me and run the occasional silly competition.
Everyone likes a bit of variety. I'm sure none of my readers only want to read about anti-heroes or villainous protagonists any more than they only want to read about square-jawed heroes doing the right thing. I just write characters than entertain me and hope they'll be ones that other people want to read about, too.
All lives are tales. Some spread, and grow in the telling. Others are just told between us and the gods, muttered back and forth behind our days, but those tales grow too and shake us just as fierce.
Lundist held that a man who can observe is a man apart. Such a man can see opportunities where others see only the obstacles
We can't be trapped by fear. Lives lived within such walls are just slower deaths.
It is purity of spirit that will keep corruption from the flesh
Questions for questions. You're a man who's spent time at court.
Every man has his thorns, not of him, but in him, deep as bones.
