I did several interesting jobs, working in restaurants, I worked at a lab rat farm, feeding and watering all these rats. Then I got a full-time job as a technical writer for a large scientific research laboratory.

I did a total of 54 projects for LucasFilm: I did novels, anthologies, a young adult series co-written with my wife, comics, pop-up books and all kinds of things.

I always turn in my books on time, so you can always count on a book coming out when it's supposed to.
Kevin J. Anderson
I always had this non-stop drive. I had to keep sending stories out and every once in awhile I'd get something accepted or get the little trickle of positive feedback.
Kevin J. Anderson
Every spare second I would write, somehow. On my lunch hour, too.

Each book will have a lot of cliffhangers, because I like that.

Dune is the bestselling science fiction book of all time. It's something you really need to read in your lifetime. If you're going to read The Lord of the Rings, which everyone should, then you have to read Dune, too.
Kevin J. Anderson
Dune has all the big, epic vastness of the galaxy, with politics, economics, intrigues and wheels within wheels plots. But they don't have any aliens or anything.
Kevin J. Anderson
Dune can be read on so many different levels. I really get different things out of it every time I read it. You can read it as just a plain old space adventure story, people being stranded on a desert planet that has giant sandworms on it, but you can also read it and get politics and economics out of it.

Do you want Columbus to go across the ocean, or do you want to put a message in a bottle and hope that it lands somewhere? I'd rather have actual people be there. Whether they look like Americans or like the inhabitants of some other country, depends on who has the most drive.
