Interview at Futurismic

Luc Reid has interviewed me about my experience writing Burn Baby Burn in one week. The article can now be read at Futurismic. A teaser quote from the interview:

"I wasn't aiming for epic fantasy. I was shooting for a page-turning pulp

adventure featuring atomic supermen and space aliens drifting along dark desert

highways. This is the sort of novel I used to devour on a single summer

afternoon when I was a teenager."

And, speaking of quotes, I am far too modest and also a bit too lazy to sit around collecting all the pithy nuggets of wisdom I spread across the internet. But, the Codex website has a thread called "quotedex" where participants can quote other members when they say something that strikes their fancy. Luc has lately been collecting some of these quotes from individual authors, and has just recently posted some of my quotes from the forum. For a sampling, check out the article here. A teaser quote:

For me–and I can't speak for anyone else–my formula was stupid stubbornness. I

kept plugging along despite rejection letters and harsh critiques because I was

too dumb to understand that I really was no good at what I was doing and it was

time to give up and move on to something else.
