Science fiction readers probably have the gene for novelty, and seem to enjoy a cascade of invention as much as a writer enjoys providing one.

I'm in favor of any technology that makes my work available to the reading public at a reasonable price.

How long it takes to write a book depends on its length.

If you can find collaborators whose strengths compliment your own, the result can be more than the sum of its authors.

It's a tough job to tell a story when the audience already knows the ending, and the ending is bleak.

An SF author who reads only SF will have little new to contribute, but someone with a broader experience will bring more to the table.

I can't speak for the other authors, but what I hoped to achieve was to illuminate certain corners of the Lucas universe that hadn't yet been explored.
