Jules Gabriel Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues, because I think it is the duty and obligation of a fiction writer, to create a world we as readers want to experience for ourselves.

The most wonderful thing about writing is that spark you feel when it captures you and you suddenly see you are a writer. No words can describe this. You just know, and since you know, you will always be a writer no matter how many trials you face in this very tough life.

I have always been interested in rambling old houses which have rooms to explore. So I put one of these in my latest The Vampire Diaries books.
