McCaffrey’s Dragonflight was the book that got me into both reading and writing. A young teenager, it inspired me to start creating my own worlds. It’s warm and comforting and opened my mind. What was your first influential book?

This is cyberpunk at its best. Marge Piercy’s He, She, and It does everything that sci-fi should: warns about what is to come, and ties it to what has been.

If you want a great introduction to Neil Gaiman, American Gods is the place to do it. And if you’re going to read it (you should), I recommend this copy - the “Author’s Preferred Text.” The original publication had a lot cut for length or because the business folks didn’t think it would make sense. This copy has it all added back in and makes for a much richer read!

Pratchett and Gaiman’s Good Omens collaboration gives a great view into the writing process. Gaiman has said “There were bits we were both convinced we had written, and bits we were both convinced that we hadn't.”

This rings true when I read my own work: sometimes I distinctly remember writing parts, other times I come across something and can’t help but wonder who wrote it. Do you find a mystery voice in your own work? Where does it come from?
