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

I write science fiction for people who don't read a great deal of science fiction.

I was a very keen reader of science fiction, and during the time I was going to libraries, it was good, written by people who knew their science.

The stories that engaged me as a kid were all science fiction. Later, it turned out that I didn't have the language to talk about what was bothering me in a way that was straightforward.

I began reading science fiction before I was 12 and started writing science fiction around the same time.

I was a very keen reader of science fiction.

Even if you only want to write science fiction, you should also read mysteries, poetry, mainstream literature, history, biography, philosophy, and science.

I love science fiction. I read a lot of science fiction.

I taught English and history, so my education for that really helped prepare me for writing historical fiction.

As science-fiction was what I read in college, it was natural that I should be tempted to write it. So I did, and continued to do so, even while I was co-authoring mysteries with my husband Evan.
