Why write?
At heart, I’m an entertainer. I like to make people laugh, think, and feel. And for me, writing gives me a lot of creative control in a very satisfying way; it comes as an extension of myself, and that’s rewarding to me.
If you didn’t write, what would you do?

Why write?
I can’t help it. Really. I have quite honestly been writing ever since before they taught me how to make those meaningful scribbles on paper in Kindergarten. And I think I was plotting and sending my [...]

Why write?
Because I can’t make myself stop. Believe me, I’ve tried!
If you didn’t write, what would you do?
Probably something totally useless and self destructive, sort of like an Australian Shepherd puppy locked up in an apartment all day while everybody is gone to work. Think of shreds and tatters everywhere…
If you could hunt any speculative [...]

Why write?
I think I’ve always had an interest in telling stories; often in quiet moments I’d create scenes and settings, never writing it down or anything, just all inside my head. It was only when my daughters were born that I really sat down and decided to put these ideas on paper–once they were born [...]

Why write?
I have written fiction since I was a child, and probably for the reasons many do — even in my whitest-of-white-bread formative years, I am sure there were things I wanted to escape from, improve on. Now, I write because I can, and because I enjoy entertaining others. And my skin is sufficiently thick [...]

“I have more metal in my bones than (comic book and movie hero) Wolverine.”
SO says Scalding Sands author A. Kiwi Courters, mother of two boys, one outstanding female warrior, and a long road of recovery. On July 2nd, the Alameda (CA) Sun posted an article about Courters and how her writing has helped lead her [...]

Why write?
I write because I always have, since I was a very young child. Not much more to it than that, really. It’s an instinct. The ideas come, and I write them down. Although I suppose it’s also true to say that nowadays I write in part because I get paid [...]

Why write?
Art and storytelling are some of the most ancient ways of communicating ideas. They place the divine power of creation into mortal hands and allow a person to expand to the fullest extent of their imagination.
If you didn’t write, what would you do?
If I wasn’t writing, I’d be . . . kicking myself and [...]

Why paint? If you didn’t paint, what would you do?
I have been passionate about drawing since I was a child, and have been teaching myself to paint since 1983. If I didn’t paint, I would spend more time playing my Bass.
If you could hunt any speculative fiction creature ever imagined (except one of your own), [...]

Why write?
It’s something that I’ve enjoyed since childhood. I love to tell stories, to entertain. There’s some ego in there too. I get a feeling akin to the thrill of the chase when I’m writing, like I’m running to catch the threads of something ephemeral that is barely visible in this distance. And much like [...]
