I like deconstructing things. I like cutting the legs out from under something that feels secret.

It's part of a cycle of stories I'm writing where I deconstruct classic science fiction.

I like learning stuff. The more information you can get about a person or a subject, the more you can pour into a potential project. I made a decision to do different things. I want to do things that have a better chance of being thought of as original. I do everything I can to disrupt my comfort zone.

I grew up reading comic books, pulp books, mystery and science fiction and fantasy. I'm a geek; I make no pretensions otherwise. It's the stuff that I love writing about. I like creating worlds.

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

I care about narrative structure; I care about how stories unfold.

I love telling stories. Creating a character, a world, a whole universe out of nothing. That part I can't get enough of.

I like historical things; I like researching things.

I take in a lot of stuff from real life, movies, television, news and it all gets mixed in my head and somehow turns into a story idea.
