I never set out to be the man who writes a lot of female characters.

I like my male characters as much my female characters, but I always seem to have less for them to say.

I did comics on the Internet because it was free, and if I had made printed copies, I wouldn't have known what to do with them. But I knew how to make a website when most people didn't, and back then, that was enough!

As a kid, I went from reading kids' books to reading science fiction to reading, you know, adult fiction. There was never any gap. YA was a thing when I was a teenager, but it was a library category, not a marketing category, and you never really felt like it was a huge section.

I made a lot of money, but you can dangerously let it lead you on. It depends what company you keep.

It's hard to have any idea of how much money is enough to finance an appropriate lifestyle in retirement. But if a lump sum is translated into a monthly income, it's much easier to determine whether you have enough put away to afford to stop working.

The social world is transforming the way we create wealth, work, learn, play, raise our children, and probably the way we think.

I work hard, I make my own living and I love it. I like having financial independence.
