thinking two fiction
Of the two, I would think of my work as closer to Science Fiction than Fantasy.
aside positive primarily readers
Aside from sales, the letters from readers have been primarily positive.
began feeds series
From the beginning, the series has been story driven - I began with a story idea - but research feeds it.
men too-much usual
Again Creb grunted. It was the usual noncommittal comment used by men when responding to a woman. It carried only enough meaning to indicate the woman had been understood, without acknowledging too much significance in what she said.
book ideas fiction
I have heard Science Fiction and Fantasy referred to as the fiction of ideas, and I like that definition, but it's the mainstream public that chooses my books for the most part.
character eye tears
I had tears coming out of my eyes. And it was the characters that got me there.
romance fiction magazines
My fiction is reviewed by the mainstream press, by science fiction periodicals, romance magazines, small press publications and various other journals, including some usually devoted to archaeological and other science material.
writing stories please
I started writing to please myself, a story I would like to read, and that is still true.
writing influence i-can
I can't tell you any more than any other writer can tell you why they write, and I don't know what my influences are.
ideas giving research
The idea led me into the research, which continues to give me more ideas for the story.
journey space fiction
Science Fiction is not just about the future of space ships travelling to other planets, it is fiction based on science and I am using science as my basis for my fiction, but it's the science of prehistory - palaeontology and archaeology - rather than astronomy or physics.
marketing done publishers
No, my publisher has always done the marketing.
waiting
You weren't being punished. You were waiting for me.
fear stronger loses
She loved him, more than she could ever find words for, but this love he felt for her was not quite the same. It wasn't so much stronger, as more demanding, more insistent. As though he feared he would lose that which he had finally won.
