Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
Yes, it was a short essay at school about the Earth breaking up. I've always been fascinated in science, after all I'm an engineer, so I suppose it's no coincidence that nearly all my stories are science fiction.
What is your writing process?
I let my mind wander when I'm working letting whatever is happening in the world influence my thinking. And then I ask myself "what if" questions, for instance what if I had some kind of zap gun that I could use to change things. And then, if I'm lucky, a plot develops. The plot to me is the most important part of the story. If I have that everything else just falls into place, I can just start writing and let the characters develop on their own.
