Quotes

  • Life is about learning; when you stop learning, you die.
  • The odds against becoming the next Frederick Forsythe are, of course, somewhere between merely exponential and astronomical-incredible. I’ll settle for a book-jacket with my name on it.
  • I’ve made up stuff that’s turned out to be real, that’s the spooky part.
  • I like writing. It's the most fun I've ever had at anything. You can build your own little world and — like a kid with his toy trains, — except instead of trains I have tanks and ships and airplanes and things... I get to make them do all the things I want them to do, and if I don't like the way things work out, I start again.
  • I write strictly for fun... as long as it stays fun I'll continue to do it.
  • Victory comes only to those prepared to make it, and take it.
