Original work has no floor and no ceiling. You can reach essentially zero readers or millions.

I like to keep the world, to some degree, an implied setting.

I enjoyed The Mirage by M. Ruff. I'm reading Edgar Rice Burrough's Princess Of Mars right and loving it.

I loved The Weird (one of the stories in it inspired Blackalley in Discourse).

I try to pester Christian Dunn from time to time. As soon as my schedule allows, I plan to make a real pest of myself and get some hot, slippery Chaos action.

The Disney deal created some wrinkles. I'm under contract. But I'm on standby.

I'm unstuck in time. Also, I juggle like mad and have made myself efficient.

Fantasy allows for less rigorous worldbuilding and more vigorous exploration of moral questions. Sci-fi is opp.

My goal is to write stories that are connected, but not sequels in any meaningful sense. Like Howard's Conan tales or Leiber's Fahrrd & the Great Mauser stories.

I always work from outline and almost always write out of sequence. It just works for me.

With young kids (I have four including the newborn) times passes weirdly for me.

The gift of life, gives you the greatest opportunity to live and chance to rise above any situation. With hopeful attitude you can overcome any struggle.

It's like someone took the darkness of the universe and put it into your eyes... You became a slave to the monsters living in you. You were light, but now you allow it be seen.

Gratitude for me is waking up each day, and being able to make a difference in somebody’s life.

To succeed perseverance yells "pain to gain". If you don't take heed, you'll end up slain!

[Michael] Felix and other immigration attorneys say it's possible [Melania] Trump was doing what a lot of models do - working illegally on a tourist visa.

In real life I'm obviously a lot more shy, but once I'm on set and in costume and I'm hidden behind the person I'm playing I feel quite free to experiment.

Life's passed along to us empty. We have to make up the happiness part.

I personally will be overjoyed when the Canadian courts rule to return John Graham back to the US to answer for this brutal murder.

I spent my entire life working with the smallest budget I could get. Just working with old, junky, donated equipment. The only things I bought myself were the trumpet and the $9 ukulele.
