'Somewhere in the middle of getting married, having a baby, abandoning my novel, starting and abandoning half a dozen others, having another baby, and trying to stay on top of the bills, something wholly unexpected and depressingly typical happened: I stopped caring about my writing, and started caring about everything else: The kids. The marriage. The mortgage.'

- Seth Grahame-Smith, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, pp. 5 & 6
