I wouldn't like to just do one story or one type of stories all the time.

I guess if one set of my books was selling like Stephen King's, and the other wasn't selling at all, editors would want me to do the ones that sold like Stephen King's. But they seem to be willing to let me pick what I want to do next.

There are interactions with characters within the game which I think are pretty neatly done considering the limitations that you have to work with. I mean, a computer can't really generate a character that talks back and forth with you successfully.

And what we know, or think we know, about the universe of space and time is changing very quickly.

I wrote speculative fiction because I loved to read it, and thought I could do better than some of the people who were getting published.

There's a big overlap with the people you meet at the fantasy and science fiction cons.

I started writing seriously about 1960, at the fairly advanced age of 30.
