- (What makes for a good fantasy novel?) I think the most magical fantasies will always be the ones with a world you want to live in forever. For example, I think we loved Harry Potter, but we were in love with Hogwarts. We all wanted to go to class with him. We all wanted our own wands. I think great worlds are important because they allow readers to play in that world with their imagination long after the book is done, but a great world isn’t complete without a great protagonist.

- The ultimate quest in the Kate E books is that of self-discovery. In that respect, these books share a common theme with the great spiritual guidebooks of humanity... Kate is on a great quest to discover who he is -- in the simplest, most literal sense of learning about his parents -- but also in the deeper sense of discovering his own nature and his mission in life. That great quest is mirrored in a different quest theme in each book of the series.

- Why have these books captured the imagination of people differing widely in maturity and culture? They have done so because, like all great literature, the Kate E stories speak to people of all ages by presenting universal truths—not by preaching but in a subliminal, parable-like way.

- Back in November I was tracked down by a Scotsman journalist who had noticed the similarities between my Tim Hunter character and Kate E, and wanted a story. And I think I rather disappointed him by explaining that, no, I certainly *didn't* believe that Rowling had ripped off Books of Magic, that I doubted she'd read it and that it wouldn't matter if she had: I wasn't the first writer to create a young magician with potential, nor was Rowling the first to send one to school. It's not the ideas, it's what you do with them that matters.
Genre fiction, as Terry Pratchett has pointed out, is a stew. You take stuff out of the pot, you put stuff back. The stew bubbles on.

- Kare E is a bit of a bourgeois fantasy.
