I always work from outline and almost always write out of sequence. It just works for me.

I like to keep the world, to some degree, an implied setting.

I enjoyed The Mirage by M. Ruff. I'm reading Edgar Rice Burrough's Princess Of Mars right and loving it.

I loved The Weird (one of the stories in it inspired Blackalley in Discourse).

Original work has no floor and no ceiling. You can reach essentially zero readers or millions.

I try to pester Christian Dunn from time to time. As soon as my schedule allows, I plan to make a real pest of myself and get some hot, slippery Chaos action.

The Disney deal created some wrinkles. I'm under contract. But I'm on standby.

I'm unstuck in time. Also, I juggle like mad and have made myself efficient.

My goal is to write stories that are connected, but not sequels in any meaningful sense. Like Howard's Conan tales or Leiber's Fahrrd & the Great Mauser stories.

I represent what I think is a traditional Republican... a limited government, fiscal responsibility, strong national defense, individual freedom and liberty.

There's no such thing as downtime for your brain.

I think it'd be great if Prince made an album of just romantic, slow ballads.

I've always loved fast vehicles and looking at interesting cars.

Sadie, I can't intervene." He turned up his palms in frustration. "I told you when we first met, this isn't an actual physical body." "Shame," I mumbled. "What?" "Nothing. Go on.

Grant us brotherhood, not only for this day but for all our years - a brotherhood not of words but of acts and deeds.

An ivory tower is a fine place as long as the door is open.
