Fantastic fiction covers fantasy, horror and science fiction - and it doesn't get the attention it deserves from the literati.
I think science fiction is very bad at prediction.
I'd never been to a science-fiction convention until I became a professional writer.
No one ever got into science fiction for the sex or prestige. They got into it because they love it.
I'm a science fiction and fantasy geek.
One of the things that I love so much about fantasy and science fiction is that the weirdness that it creates is always at its best completely its own end and also metaphorically and symbolically laden.
I do, however, feel reasonably strongly the sense that the job of a piece of argumentative scholarly non-fiction is not the same as the job of a piece of fiction.
