Fantastic Fiction Covers Fantasy, Horror And Science Fiction - And It Doesn't Get The Attention It Deserves From The Literati.

What I Always Try To Do In All My Books Is To Make The Stories Such That If You Don't Agree With Me Politically Or You're Not Interested In The Thematics, The Story Will Still Keep You Turning The Pages.

My Parents Were Hippies, And The Story Is That They Went Through A Dictionary Looking For A Beautiful Word To Name Me. They Nearly Called Me Banyan, But Flipped A Few Pages On And Reached "china," Thankfully. The Other Reason They Liked It Is That "china" Is Cockney Rhyming Slang For "mate." People Say "my Old China," Meaning "my Old Mate," Because "china Plate" Rhymes With "mate.

A Scholar Can Never Let Mere Wrongness Get In The Way Of The Theory.

I Think Science Fiction Is Very Bad At Prediction.
