One of the things that sets you apart from many other fantasy authors is your command of plot. Your stories are intricate and full of hidden puzzles. How did you learn to write like that?
I don’t know. I read. I never took a course in writing of any sort. The only literature courses I ever took in college were required courses, since my degrees were in physics and mathematics. I never wrote anything that wasn’t required until I was 30. I knew that I wanted to write one day. I knew that from the age of five. But that was someday, after I had a stable career. And then 30 came, and I sat down and started writing. Where any of it came from, I don’t know. At that point, from 30 years of reading everything I could get my hands on.
