A lot of the futuristic space stuff seemed to me to be a very cool form of science-fiction, so that was my first real baptism in the genre.

I'm all for teaching creation and allowing prayers in schools, as soon as scholars begin teaching Darwinism and geometry in church.

I grew up on comics and cartoons. So, as an adult, I like comics and cartoons.

Find what scares you and do it.

I am a huge zombie fan. I have probably seen the George Romero movies 100 times each, without exaggeration.

When a book of mine comes out, I instantly go hunting the net, not for praise, but for criticism, because that's how you learn, from people who don't have to be polite to you.

A good story should provoke discussion, debate, argument...and the occasional bar fight.
