I do not read SF as much as I used to. It's too much like a busman's holiday.

First, people don't read novels off screens, and they don't have a tendency to shell out real money for books when they don't retain anything physically for their money.

No, I don't autograph blank slips, checks, or stickers, and certainly no books without me in them.

I am a registered Democrat (there are only two Republicans in Maryland and they're both in office) and two-time unsuccessful candidate for office myself.

If you got what it takes, you'll make it. If you don't, Shakespeare couldn't help you.

...it is in the very fundamentals of evil that one always condemns it when they see it but rationalizes it when they do it.

I write novels and other things.
