A Quote by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich
I read 'The Last Wish' and really loved it. But I never would have called myself a fantasy writer before this. I've done some comic book shows, I've done a lot of drama. So when I read the book I loved it but never thought I should adapt it personally.

The very cheapness of literature is making even wise people forget that if a book is worth reading, it is worth buying.
