These days, it seems that if you're not already in place, you can't get there from here.

The villain is always more entertaining because he has fewer limitations. The hero is bound by honor, by justice and by the law, sometimes.

I think there's something inherently dishonest in trying to go back and mess with the past.

I realized the only thing I owed my audience was my own judgment and my own best effort.

I always wanted to fire rays out of my fingertips.

I've had editors over the years who couldn't find a clue if it was stapled to their butt.

The bottom line always remains the same: What is the basic humanity of the character? How do I make them resonate with the reader?
