There Was A Time When The Young

You Weren't Being Punished. You Were Waiting For Me.

I Have Been A Reader Of Science Fiction And Fantasy For A Long Time, Since I Was 11 Or 12 I Think, So I Understand It And I'm Not At All Surprised That Readers Of The Genre Might Enjoy My Books.

I Had An Idea For A Story About A Young Woman Who Was Living With People Who Were Different, Not Just Superficially Different - Such As Hair Colour, Or Eye Colour, Or Skin Colour - But Different In Some Significant Way.

Though My Books Are Written From A Historical Perspective, I Have Goon So Far Back That I Am In The Realm Of Prehistorical Speculation Rather Than Simple Historical Fact To Weave My Stories Around.

You Learn To Write By Writing, And By Reading And Thinking About How Writers Have Created Their Characters And Invented Their Stories. If You Are Not A Reader, Don't Even Think About Being A Writer.
