What got you into writing fantasy?

Robert Jordan

Fantasy is an area where it is possible to talk about right and wrong, good and evil, with a straight face. In mainstream fiction and even in a good deal of mystery, these things are presented as simply two sides of the same coin. Never really more than a matter of where you happen to be standing. I think quite often it’s hard to tell the difference. I think that quite often you can only find a choice between bad and worse. But I think it’s worth making the effort and I like to expose my characters to that sort of situation.
