I have been a reader of Science Fiction and Fantasy for a long time, since I was 11 or 12 I think, so I understand it and I’m not at all surprised that readers of the genre might enjoy my books Picture Quote #1

I have heard Science Fiction and Fantasy referred to as the fiction of ideas, and I like that definition, but it’s the mainstream public that chooses my books for the most part Picture Quote #1

Of the two, I would think of my work as closer to Science Fiction than Fantasy Picture Quote #1

From the beginning, the series has been story driven - I began with a story idea - but research feeds it Picture Quote #1

If all your love were concentrated on one, it could overwhelm her, if she wasn’t one to whom the Mother gave equal gifts Picture Quote #1

It took some time to gather the research and develop it into the storyline, and to finally finish an origin myth poem that I had been working on for twenty years Picture Quote #1
