I wanted to be Anthony Hopkins and ended up being neither a film star nor having a career on the stage.

I write from the same place I parent, and since becoming a single parent, I have found it difficult, if not impossible, to write anything of length.

The space genre is timeless.

If we wait until our lives are free from sorrow or difficulty, then we wait forever. And miss the entire point.

For a 12-year-old with a hyperactive imagination who liked to dream of dreary gothic castles, suburban Florida felt a little stifling.

When I go to an art gallery and stand in front of a painting, I don't want someone telling me what I should be seeing or thinking; I want to feel whatever I feel, see whatever I see, and figure out what I figure out.

Personally, I've never done things just for money.

When I graduated, I promptly took a job in finance, making both my pre-med and poli-sci years essentially useless - or so I thought.
