Like everyone, I got started with Lizard Music… some subversive at my older sister’s school slipped her a copy which I quickly misappropriated from her schoolbag (and later paid the library late fine, too).

Now that the T-Rex and Raptors of Jurassic Park are coming ’round a second time, when will we see lizards named Reynold brought to life on the silver screen?

Anyway, since I do this far too seldom, I’d like to say thank you for writing books that make me think. I may not agree with everything you write, but I’ve never put down one of your books feeling cheated, or that my time was wasted.

You don't agree with everything I write? How is that possible? You must be some kind of subversive.
