You know, having raised animals all my life for 50-something years, I would say that you know, I'm fascinated by cats.
Ray Bradbury was the first author that I was really exposed to back in grade school. I'm a big Philip K. Dick fan, but the emotion and humanity that Bradbury brings to his stories and the way he uses sci-fi to get at the human heart is something that's unique and for me incredibly influential.
It's amazing. I can't believe how brilliant the whole thing is - my daughter, Georgia, is just wonderful.
