How do you feel about modern fantasy? I’m not sure if it’s down to religion, but I’ve noticed you never write sex, and thought you have action, it’s never crossed into what I consider to be gory. Do you feel fantasy is going too far down the ‘realistic grimdark’ route?

I do prefer to both read and write things that are more reserved in these areas. What I like about fantasy, however, is that it is a very broad and expansive genre. It has room in it for everything. Some of these people are fantastic writers. For my own writing, I feel that I can both tackle interesting and complex issues while writing works that do not include graphic content. It is a personal decision, and an intentional one.
