"Good fences make good neighbors, and these were apparently good enough that they had not felt the need for razor wire at the top. I crested the fence, threw myself into the yard beyond, fell, rolled to my feet, and ran with the expectation of being garroted by a taut clothesline.I heard panting, looked down, and saw a gold retriever running at my side, ears flapping. The dog glanced up at me tongue rolling, grinning, as though jazzed by the prospect of an unscheduled play session."

Writing
"The language fictional characters use is chosen for effect, at least if the author is concentrating."
Writing
"The cynical part of the answer is that I expect to see a good deal more space opera, set far enough in the future as to be disconnected from contemporary issues."
Future
"I don't think anyone wants a reader to be completely lost - certainly not to the point of giving up - but there's something to be said for a book that isn't instantly disposable, that rewards a second reading."
Reading
"Creating the fictional background for a game world isn't significantly different from creating a background for fiction."
Fiction
"I'm very happy that the New York Times has spoken well of my stuff; who wouldn't be? But it's not a choice I made."
Choice
"At one point I intended to write precursor and sequel novels, about the establishment of the Web and its next evolution, but I am very unlikely to now; they would take place in a different universe."
Writing
"There are people who believe in an absolutely transparent prose; with every respect for clarity of expression, I don't."
People
