Science fiction is no more written for scientists that ghost stories are written for ghosts.
I started out writing much more science fictiony stuff and writing about science fiction.
I was someone who really loved fantasy novels and science fiction novels.
At 18, my first short story was published - I was paid a penny a word by a science fiction magazine. I continued to write, and five years later I published my first novel, 'Sweetwater.'
Most science fiction is about white men who are 25 to 30, who are very smart, who face a physical problem and solve it.
Science fiction is the ugly stepchild of mainstream literature, and fantasy is the ugly stepchild of science fiction, and tie-in novels are the ugly stepchild of fantasy... and on and on and on.
We do a hard fantasy as well as hard science fiction, and I think I probably single-handedly recreated military science fiction. It was dead before I started working in it.
Science fiction is huge and varied, and there's almost any sort of book or story you might imagine.
Fantasy and science fiction are where my brain lives.
