Lynn Abbey

“When I have an idea, it goes from vague, cloudy notion to 100,000 words in a heartbeat.”

“I'm dense when it comes to discouragement.”

“I've read short stories that are as dense as a 19th century novel and novels that really are short stories filled with a lot of helium.”

“I think my prose reads as if English were my second language. By the time I get to the end of a paragraph, I'm dodging bullets and gasping for breath.”

“When I'm not writing or tweaking my computer, I do embroidery. When I'm not plunging into the past, tweaking, or embroidering, I'm reading books about history, computers, or embroidery.”

“I write sets of books, but I've also written a lot of orphans.”
