And fantasy comes along and says, 'We're going to break all the laws of physics.' ...

They're all science fiction, too - romantic, adventurous, frivolous, fantastic science fiction!

Science Fiction is not just about the future of space ships travelling to other planets, it is fiction based on science and I am using science as my basis for my fiction, but it's the science of prehistory - palaeontology and archaeology - rather than astronomy or physics.
I'm fond of science fiction. But not all science fiction. I like science fiction where there's a scientific lesson, for example - when the science fiction book changes one thing but leaves the rest of science intact and explores the consequences of that. That's actually very valuable.
My old English buddy, John Rackham, wrote and told me what made science fiction different from all other kinds of literature - science fiction is written according to the science fiction method.

I would say that most of my books are contemporary realistic fiction... a couple, maybe three, fall into the 'historic fiction' category.
