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

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

Genre labels are useful only insofar as they help you find an audience.

The mass-market paperback, for one, is too expensive.

I found college useful for a lot of other reasons. It exposed me to a great many influences I wouldn't otherwise have encountered, and gave me a lot of time with some very intelligent people whose thoughts are still with me.

I now have to find a reason to write, every single day.

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