Why write? An answer to a frequently asked question: Why do you write? There are many answers to this question, many good answers, but the most honest answer is probably: Because I have to.

There are stories that hit you with such force that you have no choice but to write them down. And then there is another kind of story. A story that starts small but keeps growing. It gets bigger and bigger and more and more extensive. Probably the most extensive story I’ve ever dealt with is Death Zone IV. It started with a very specific image, a specific feeling. The story developed from that.

Countless images, thousands of images, were created for this story. A collection of legends and tales, a biography, a secret history of the last few hundred years, and no end in sight.
