As was the case in 'Darth Plagueis' - even going back as far as 'Cloak of Deception' - I was well aware that I was writing what used to be called 'men's adventure' fiction.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Fiction novels, that's my game.
I want prose fiction to be recognized as that, and I'm not interested in writing as it becomes more personal.
I've written fiction for as long as I can remember; it's always been my preferred form of play.
There's always a bit of fiction in everything that I write.
I hated historical novels with fluttering cloaks.
I used to write fiction, non-fiction, fiction, non-fiction and have a clear pattern because I'd need a break from one style when going into the next book.
I think any period in history can be adapted into interesting fiction, as long as you approach the actual history with respect.
I'm writing another novel and I know what I'm going to do after, which may be something more like this again, maybe some strange mixture of fiction and non-fiction.
My instinct is to write under the cloak of an opaque historical setting.
I was never interested in writing novelizations. I'm still not. Especially not for 'Star Wars.'
