I think the diversity of authors and readers is expanding, which is wonderful, because it means the type of story being told is also expanding.

Now, of course, the great thing about the solar system as a frontier is that there are no Indians, so you can have all the glory of the myth of the American westward expansion without any of the guilt.

I have a better internal and intuitive understanding of folklore and myth than science and technology, so in that way fantasy is easier.

I graduated from the University of Michigan with a BA in Communications and left formal education behind.

When I was in college, I spent a summer working in London. I'd enjoyed tea before that, but then I got actual, really good tea there and never looked back.

When I'm not at the keyboard, I'm generally reading, practicing tai chi or middle eastern dance, or cooking.

I feel SF is going through an experimental phase right now.
