Why I write, and why there are lesbians

When I was a child, my father read Asimov and Zelazny to me. As a teenager I gravitated toward writers like [China] Mieville, [Charles] Stross, and [Tad] Williams because they wrote the genres I loved—science fiction, (future) fantasy, dystopian, occult—without a romantic element. I didn't want to read jaw-dropping, gears-turning stories which were then "bogged down" by needless romance. I was the Read more of this blog post »
