While I was in high school, I discovered and began writing science fiction.

I first read science fiction in the old British Chum annual when I was about 12 years old.

I was always into science fiction as a kid. I loved science and tinkering with things.

I grew up obsessed with science fiction, and when I was really young, I wanted to be a scientist.

I read so much science fiction when I was young. I believe science fiction is the genre for exploration and to learn about possibilities via book.

I've always wanted to write science fiction. It was one of my first loves, and I knew if I became a writer someday I'd probably write something in the science fiction vein, but I hesitated for a long while because it's such well-trod ground.

I began writing fictional stories and little screenplays when I was in fifth grade.

I started to read at a very early age, and I just thought that books and reading were really the most wonderful thing that life had to offer. I think I wrote my very first piece of fiction at the age of 12, but then I didn't write any more for quite a long time.

I wrote my first book at 20, but my whole focus from about the age of 12 was to be a writer.
