What was it like visiting the States and going to the Romantic Times Convention?
I love the USA. I think it’s a great country, and some of my favourite people in the world live there. The Romantic Times convention was wonderful. I love that it’s a convention that focuses on readers, not so much on writers. Without readers, writers are dead in the water. Having the chance to hang out with people who love books, love reading, is a glorious thing. It reminds me of the best part of my bookseller days. Barring unforeseen catastrophe I’ll be back to the RT convention next year, in LA, this time teaching some workshops as well as appearing on panels. I can’t wait. I know you are a geeky fan of various TV shows, movies and comic books. If you had to choose any of these to write for, be it scripts or tie-in novels (not including Star Wars and Stargate) which would it be? (Am hoping you say Supernatural!) Actually, right now, there isn’t anything I’d kill to write for, tie-in or script wise. I haven’t stopped being a geeky fan — I’ll be a geeky fan till I drop dead, I think!
