If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?

Immediately. From the Princess Bride. Did you know that when I read that book, I actually looked up flights to Florin? I thought it was a real place. It's a testament to William Goldman's writing, his imagination, his power that I actually thought it was somewhere I could get on a place to and go and visit. His description, his words... just... WOW. What would I do there? I'd visit the magician, of course. And the Rodents of Unusual Size! (less)

Qatar seems like an odd place to take up residence. Why live there of all places? Does it cramp your freedom?

I moved to Dubai in 2008 with my job in advertising (I was writing, but it was reports, and extremely dull). My husbands job took us to Doha in 2011. I couldn't find work here and decided to focus on writing full time. I would say living in Qatar does cramp my freedom- it has taken away my financial independence, and my social life, so from that perspective it's not wonderful. But on the other hand, it's allowed me to follow the dream of writing, and devote my time to it completely. And maybe, the more I write, the more I'll be able to fix the lack of social life and independence! That's the plan, anyway... (less)

“He's been in that east wing, suffering and alone for the past three weeks. He hasn't spoken to anyone, hasn't seen anyone, and been by himself all this time. That kind of solitude terrifies me and impresses me at the same time.”
― Johanna Handley, The Embers of Juniper Slaide
