Quote

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

I'm mostly a novelist these days, but I have written short stories in Fantasy, Science Fiction and horror.

I've written six novels and four pieces of nonfiction, so I don't really have a genre these days.

In any genre you're working in, you can always find a way to tell a particular kind of story. I love fantasy; I love science fiction. I love all kinds of fiction, in fact.

I never studied writing, but I'd always been a reader and had a secret fantasy about being a writer.

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.

Writing is writing, and stories are stories. Perhaps the only true genres are fiction and non-fiction. And even there, who can be sure?

Most of my books have been written in the form of fantasy.

This sounds like a cliche, but I always wanted to write. After college, I did some writing and realized very quickly that it's hard to make a living as a writer. At that point, I was more interested in fiction writing.

If I'm going to invest the time in a novel, I want something more than the entertainment you get out of most genre fiction.
