"In the nature of things, readers are often moved to suggest 'topics' for my Discword books. This is somewhat depressing, because most people who are not writers fail to understand how writers think, and if it comes to that, so do I."

ETA: "Natalie Portman is set to slay the undead in a movie adaptation of best-seller Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, it is reported."

It can be soothing because you don't have to worry about Orcs because they are SO BAD and just there for the heroes to overcome. A bit like the French in Sharpe...
