Warren Dean asked S.E. Sasaki:

Who are your favourite authors, and which of them has been the biggest influence on your writing?

S.E. Sasaki Hi Warren. Thank you for the question. The first part is easy and I could go on and on, but I will give you the short list. ;D Roger Zelazny, Isaac Asimov, William Gibson, Frank Herbert, Gene Wolfe, Ian McDonald, Lois McMaster Bujold, Neal Asher, Connie Willis, Sherri Tepper, Ursula K. LeGuin, Arthur C. Clarke, . . .

As for which of the authors have had the biggest influence on my writing, I can't say. Reviewers like Kirkus Reviews state that my novels take them back to the golden age of science fiction, so I guess it would have to be the older writers. Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein. I wish I could write like Ian McDonald, Patricia McKillop, or Steven Erikson. I can only read them and drool in awe. ;D
