Why had I become a writer in the first place? Because I wasn't fit for society; I didn't fit into the system.

We belong to an age where apocalypse is our daily bread, coffee's black, and we know we're part of the abyss. Red Spider White Web is right on target in conveying that understanding. It splinters in the mind... the underworld of the century's imaginings.

My briefest ever definition of science fiction is 'Hubris clobbered by Nemesis.'

It is comparatively easy to become a writer; staying a writer, resisting formulaic work, generating ones own creativity - thats a much tougher matter.

Whatever creativity is, it is in part a solution to a problem.
