thinking remember should
I don't think the author should make the reader do that much work to remember who somebody is.
reading home cutting
I got to spend all of my time every day at work reading and editing papers about cutting-edge technical research and getting paid for it. Then I'd go home at night and turn what I learned into science fiction stories.

I had a minor in Russian history, and this was at the time when the big Cold War was going on.
stars war down-and
Well, I know that George Lucas doesn't like it at all. When I was working on The Illustrated Star Wars Universe, he told me that he would be happy if every copy could be tracked down and smashed...
adventure character quirky
SHADOW PROWLER is a fresh, exuberant take on territory that will be familiar to all fans of classic high fantasy. Alexey Pehov introduces a cast of charming, quirky, unsavory, even loathesome characters in a fast-paced, entertaining adventure.
giving fabulous jordan
Patrick Rothfuss gives us a fabulous debut, standing firmly on the main stage of the fantasy genre and needing no warm-up act. Jordan and Goodkind must be looking nervously over their shoulders!
writing issues office
For a feature in next month's issue of Prog magazine, the photographer spent many hours setting up a photo shoot of me with part of my music collection in my writing office. Since I do most of my writing outside in nature, we felt this shot was most representative.
book cliffhanger
Each book will have a lot of cliffhangers, because I like that.

Do you want Columbus to go across the ocean, or do you want to put a message in a bottle and hope that it lands somewhere? I'd rather have actual people be there. Whether they look like Americans or like the inhabitants of some other country, depends on who has the most drive.
book needs fiction
Dune is the bestselling science fiction book of all time. It's something you really need to read in your lifetime. If you're going to read The Lord of the Rings, which everyone should, then you have to read Dune, too.
epic romance important
There is grand romance in The Lord of the Rings. It's an important part of epic literature.
jobs interesting research
I did several interesting jobs, working in restaurants, I worked at a lab rat farm, feeding and watering all these rats. Then I got a full-time job as a technical writer for a large scientific research laboratory.
rooms arguing dogma
No, no, no - you don't argue with concepts. You have to claim Dogma, and therefore leave no room for rational thought.
successful thinking ideas
I think that somebody with the resources and innovation and the idea is going to come out of nowhere and come up with a successful space travel program.
