When I submitted samples, I had only written stories to give myself something to draw. I was told, "The art is good, but not quite professional yet. But, I like the writing." I've been a writer for almost a half a century. It's very cool.

I had never really thought of myself as a writer; any writing I had done was just to give myself something to draw.

What makes a story is how well it manages to connect with the reader, the visceral effect it has.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

Unfortunately, there are writers whose only concern is how good they could make themselves look on a title.

I always wanted to fire rays out of my fingertips.

I became an art major, took every art class my school had to offer. In college, I majored in Advertising Art and Design.
