What prompted you to write the Saga of Recluce out of historical or chronological order? It's something I've always enjoyed about the series.
L.E. Modesitt Jr.
I've always loved history, and still read and enjoy archaeological and history periodicals. That may well be why I have a history in mind when I write almost every book. In the case of Recluce, I just found that I wanted to go back into various parts of that history. But then, I discovered that I liked doing that so much that I've done the same in three out of four fantasy series. In the long run, though, it's just a matter of 'feel.' Writing a series that way feels right, possibly because I want my readers to understand how things came to be.

What was behind your decision to refer to the main characters in Isolate by their last names? It was quite jarring, especially at the start, though I got used to it. Also, thank you so much for the new series - fascinating world and I enjoyed the first book thoroughly. Looking forward to more.
