If I recall correctly, I think I signed my first contract with Tor in 1983.

I've often said that there's no one thing that I do or have done that is particularly unique. There have been a lot of other authors who were in the military. There have been a few others who were pilots. There have certainly been a lot of other people who were in politics or served congressional staffs.

I only did about one novel a year while I was working full time, but since 1993, I've averaged two and a half books a year.
