En France on a pu lire ses romans fantastique comme la Saga des Ombres.
Il est en interview ici. Il revient sur son livre La Passerelle.
"GMR: But jumping back to Strangewood again, it's obviously about fatherhood and the responsibilities of fatherhood. There also seems to be a question there about the responsibilities to your creations [you have] as an artist. Do you feel that's something that needs to be taken more seriously, that you do take seriously?
CG: You know, I've sinned against my creations a couple of times. Yeah, I think you have to take it seriously, and that you owe it to yourself and the readers not to take the easy way out, to not take the shortcuts, to not make it easy for them. Just because a character is popular doesn't mean that you have to let them live. In fact, I think it's incumbent upon you to kill some of them because I feel like there needs to be a cost. I feel like any good story is fueled by the price that the protagonist will have to pay in order to survive it. And I don't necessarily mean "survive it" in the sense of actual physical survival, but if you're not telling a story that has an element of potential loss, actual loss or striving for something, then what's the point of telling the story?
If you are telling a story about those things, well, the truth about life is that we rarely win without losing, and I think it's sort of incumbent on you to reflect that. As far as the more commercial end of things is concerned, I will fight as much as is within my power to preserve the things I love about my material if it's going to be adapted to another medium, but the magic phrase there is "within my power," and once it's beyond the parameters of what I can control, it doesn't matter to me any more, because the book exists. You know, King said it, but I'm sure somebody else said it -- has been saying it since the beginning of time -- that the book is the book is the book is the book. Sometimes the movie's made and it's better than the book, but that's a rare beast. So I think all the Hollywood shit is copacetic. Whatever happens, happens. Maybe you'll get lucky and the thing that they make will be something worth seeing, but you have to resign yourself to the knowledge that it's beyond your control."
