No One Ever Got Into Science Fiction For The Sex Or Prestige. They Got Into It Because They Love It.

Loads Of Children Read Books About Dinosaurs, Underwater Monsters, Dragons, Witches, Aliens, And Robots. Essentially, The People Who Read Sf, Fantasy And Horror Haven't Grown Out Of Enjoying The Strange And Weird.

When I'm Writing A Book, Generally I Start With The Mood And Setting, Along With A Couple Of Specific Images—things That Have Come Into My Head, Totally Abstracted From Any Narrative, That I've Fixated On. After That, I Construct A World, Or An Area, Into Which That General Setting, That Atmosphere, And The Specific Images I've Focused On Can Fit.
