I have been a reader of Science Fiction and Fantasy for a long time, since I was 11 or 12 I think, so I understand it and I'm not at all surprised that readers of the genre might enjoy my books.
I have heard Science Fiction and Fantasy referred to as the fiction of ideas, and I like that definition, but it's the mainstream public that chooses my books for the most part.
Of the two, I would think of my work as closer to Science Fiction than Fantasy.
The genre of fantasy is about magic and occult characters.
The idea of it becomes a little freaky if you're dealing with someone who has trouble differentiating between fantasy and reality, but that's a concern no matter what kind of movie you're dealing with.
I wanted to get back to my style of 20 years ago after a long period of exploring horror and fantasy themes.
When I started writing this, I found that I simply couldn't take fantasy seriously, so it became humorous, and continued from there.
If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million realities.
They say the first World Series is the one you remember most. No, no no. I guarantee you don't remember that one because the fantasy world you always dreamed about is suddenly real.
I wanted the feel in these books to be like an epic fantasy, with kings, queens, dukes and court politics, but of course like what I was explaining before, about making the science make sense, you have to make the politics make sense, too.
Most of my books have been written in the form of fantasy.
What people really want in the theater is fantasy involvement and not reality involvement.
I'm not constrained by being a genre writer. Any story I can imagine, I can cast as a fantasy novel and probably get it published.
I do have a small collection of traditional SF ideas which I've never been able to sell. I'm known as a fantasy writer and neither my agent nor my editors want to risk my brand by jumping genre.
