Piers Anthony Quotes

At the time I wrote Xone I had never been on the Internet. - Piers Anthony Quotes
But I dont read or listen for pleasure. I have too much else to do. - Piers Anthony Quotes
Douglas Adams Hitchhiker series also shows the potential of lighter fantastic fiction. I read the first, and listened to a tape of a later one, and its fun. - Piers Anthony Quotes
Have a working spouse, because you wont earn a living from writing - not at first, if ever. My wife worked for years to support us. - Piers Anthony Quotes
I did not know at first that it would be a series; I discovered after the first novel that I had more to say about it, so I did another. And another, and then the readers demanded yet more. - Piers Anthony Quotes
I do one Xanth novel a year, because at the moment that is all that publishers will accept; they dont want any other type of fiction from me, so Xanth pays my way. - Piers Anthony Quotes

I maintain an ongoing survey of Internet Publishing and self publishing, so that it is now possible for any writer with a book to get it published at nominal cost or free, and to have it on sale at booksellers like Amazon.com. - Piers Anthony Quotes
