"I am not reinventing myself. I am going through the layers and revealing myself. I am on a journey, an adventure that's constantly changing shape."

Previous Quote

As readers, we want not only a strong story, but also characters we can relate to, characters that feel real. We have to find something of ourselves in them. Each character, even those only there to serve the mechanics of the plot, should have a number of layers. The entire world you are stepping into as a reader must feel real. It must have resonance, you must be able to touch the light; smell the smells.

— Carlos Ruiz Zafon
