I'm a historian in my own mind.

I can read a newspaper article, and it might trigger something else in my mind. I often like to choose in historical fiction things or subject matter I don't feel have been given a fair shake in history.

I am a historian. I do a lot of research, and I try to get it right.

History is more interesting than most people think.

I tend to like to read history - recent history, because I find that much more intriguing than just a writer's imagination.

I'm a historian, and that freaks me out.

I see something happening in the world, and I want to share it. It's why, during 9/11, I wrote every few minutes what I saw happening. It's why I write about meeting Steve Wozniak or Bill Gates or Larry Page.

I think it's good that we're sometimes reminded of important events in history.

As a writer, I'm more interested in what people tell themselves happened rather than what actually happened.
