2.What was the inspiration for Immortal Blood? Funny you should ask about that one; it was one of those rare, drop-out-of-the-sky-in-one-piece ideas that came to me – whole – while I was lying on the couch in the house of my then-sweetheart, just before leaving for Seattle for a convention. “Hey, how about writing a book about… etc.” One of the few times that’s happened. 3. What’s the best writing advice you’ve ever been given? The worst? It’s hard to say – I’ve had so much wonderful advice over the years. Worst? When I let Lester Del Rey, my editor, bully me into splitting the novel Sun Cross into two books and push me into making it much more a fantasy than the occult thriller I’d originally intended. I’ve always regretted that. |
