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

The comments I most appreciate come from ordinary readers who've happened on one of my books at some time of stress in their lives, and who actually credit the book with helping them through a bad time. It's happened a few times in forty years.

Actually ideas are everywhere. It's the paperwork, that is, sitting down and thinking them into a coherent story, trying to find just the right words, that can and usually does get to be labor.

I am generally way out of touch with trends, except now and then I am surprised to find myself leading one, like sympathetic vampires.

I have some good stories yet to tell.

More immediately, I'm currently working on another Dracula in which there will be connections with ancient Egypt. That's about as far as I want to go in commenting on current work.

Fred Saberhagen was alive when born. He means to continue.
