In One Book, Cachalot, Just

I've Been Writing Full-time Since 1978.

I Try To Challenge Myself As Much As Possible, As Often As Possible.

How Much Research I Have To Do Depends On The Nature Of The Story. For Fantasy, None At All.

I Write Early In The Morning, Usually After Reading Portions Of At Least Half A Dozen Newspapers On The Web.

We're All Nothing But Unified Arrangements Of Atoms And Particles, Drifting Around, Enjoying Consciousness Every Now And Then For A Second Or So Before Splitting Up To Become Bits And Pieces Of Trees And Stars And French Fries.
