Q. Tell me a little about yourself.
I am an engineer and a complete geek. I love most things fantasy and science fiction. I tend to write fantasies more than anything else.
Q. What inspires you to write?
I am typically inspired to write after reading something good, watching something good or spending time out in the middle of nowhere. I read mostly fantasy stuff, when I get time to do it.

Q. What do you like most about the Pet Shop Boys?
Just about everything. Obviously their music, but maybe most of all their avant garde style – both on and off stage. They’re great performers. I’m never too far from some of their music, because I often access it, and I’m really excited to see they’ve released their new album Pandemonium. (Do we use the term album anymore in the digital age?)

Q. Tell me a little about yourself.
I live in Brussels, Belgium. My current work involves being a teacher, university professor and working with some of the institutions that comprise the European Union. I also do a small amount of work for private industry. My background is in assessment and applied linguistics, so all of that dull information should cause everyone to take a long yawn of boredom. My apologies lol.
On this Easter Sunday, I present an interview with James. James is best known for his stories Sons of Mir, Fire House, and The Centurion Cycle.
Q. Tell me a little about yourself.
Was born in Kansas but was raised in Texas. Other than a friendly y’all I have pretty much stuck to down to earth Kansas roots. Went to college in Texas and earned a degree in Biochemistry and entered grad school in. It was I felt a lot of family pressure into it and wish I hadn’t. When applying I had gotten into Carnegie Mellon’s social science program where I think I would have been much happier. I’ve always had a love for history. Not following my heart on that is something I still regret.
