In this part of the interview, I talk about:

    How I finally stopped self-censoring, and how my fiction helps me work out what I believe
    The theme of good and evil is resonant in all my fiction, as well as aspects of my own travels and experiences
    How I want to tell a good fast-paced story to keep people reading but that I also want to tackle deeper topics that leave you thinking afterwards
    Carl Jung and the Shadow side, and how embracing it can make a person whole

I also talk more about Desecration and what it means to me.
