I don't write to a genre.

I like the idea of trying to write a book in every genre.

Basically, I just write whatever story grabs me rather than considering the genre.

At the end of the day, I'm writing in a genre that isn't highly regarded.

I'm not constrained by being a genre writer. Any story I can imagine, I can cast as a fantasy novel and probably get it published.

Like most writers, I read deeply into the genre in which I write.

I have done a lot of things outside of Science Fiction, but there has been an almost disproportionate amount of that genre in my body of work. I don't know what to make of it.

Literary fiction, as a strict genre, is all but dead. Meanwhile, most genres flourish.

The stories that are out and the things that have been published are a sample of my interests. There are genres and sub-genres that I haven't waded into but have wanted to, or have waded into in other places but never actually written.

I was an avid reader, but never thought seriously about writing a novel until I was in my thirties. I took no formal fiction-writing courses and never thought about these categories when I wrote my first novel.
