There was a willow I loved by a creek; sometimes I slept there. I was never afraid, alone in the dark. There was nothing to fear from water and trees and fairytales.

The real monsters were always people.

And all these years later, not much has changed. If the universe hands you a passion—write novels and scare whoever’s willing to read them.
