books children half kids lovely near pass quite scottish-writer stuff visit written
I wouldn't let kids near half the stuff I've written so it is quite lovely to pass these little books out to children when they visit the house.
daughter kids superhero
All my kids love superheroes, but my middle daughter in particular is obsessed with Wonder Woman and Batgirl.
real character kids
I don't see one as bring better or more literate than the other and there's a real buzz to not only writing about a character I love like Superman, but also writing something that kids can enjoy.
stars war kids
What I wanted to do was drown something enormous, like a Star Trek or Star Wars kind of space opera-type thing, but actually make it about someone who was just married to the wrong guy, and that guy just happens to be this amazing dictator, and she has to get her kids as far away as possible from this guy. So something that could almost be a TV movie, if you'd ground it and set it in Wisconsin or something like that, but to give it this enormous setting.
kept month rising sales scottish-writer
Sales were stable, but they would have kept rising if we'd been out there every month and I think we'd be topping 200,000 by now.
both cap concluded disastrous fans good iron man nearly pick series side thinking
Even now, the series is nearly concluded for me, and I don't know who's right because they are both right and they are both wrong. I think if you did pick a side it would be disastrous because both the Iron Man fans and the Cap fans would be out for your blood. So (what) I'm thinking is that they are both having a good argument.
appeared four gotten line might scottish-writer
Being the first to do something like this also registers a lot of attention that the line might not have gotten if all four books had just appeared from one company.
certain horror level picture psychic scottish-writer sit watch watching
When we sit and watch a horror movie we know we're watching a horror picture and come to the story with a certain level of psychic defence.
both deals ended good honestly mainstream publicity scottish-writer series snapped
We've had really good mainstream publicity for these books and both Wanted and Chosen were snapped up as movie deals before each series even ended so I'm honestly just pinching myself.
living relates split
It's a split that relates to what we're living in now.
bringing couple creatively hearing liberating loose marvel next scottish-writer titles
It's been the most creatively liberating thing I've ever done and so I'm bringing some of that mad enthusiasm to Marvel for the next couple of years as they let me loose on some Marvel Universe titles you'll be hearing about soon.
annoying hear late people scottish-writer sequel situation
It's actually annoying when I hear people say the sequel will be late because we're in a completely different situation from the original.
almost books certain cow expand helping however marvel pick scottish-writer
However, if I can expand this to Top Cow or Avatar I'm helping the sales, however small, on my Marvel books because I'm almost certain to pick up some new readers.
love scottish-writer
I'd love to do something else for Avatar after this.
