I Try To Challenge Myself As Much

Spontaneity Is One Of The Joys Of Existence, Especially If You Prepare For It In Advance.

Writing Allows Me The Time To Travel And See The World, Which Is What I Always Wanted To Do. I'd Really Like To Have Been Sir Richard Francis Burton, But It's The Wrong Century.

I Enjoy Listening To Classical Music And Heavy Metal. I Play Basketball And Try To Go Diving At Least Once A Year. I Don't Really Have Hobbies In The Traditional Sense... I Engage In Too Many Activities Already Through The Actions Of My Characters.

I Write Early In The Morning, Usually After Reading Portions Of At Least Half A Dozen Newspapers On The Web.

Growing Up, I Never Gave A Thought To Being A Writer. All I Ever Wanted To Be Was A Traveler And Explorer. Science-fiction Allowed Me To Go Places That Were Otherwise Inaccessible, Which Is Why I Started Reading It.
