The Bible has been a major inspiration to me in many ways. My love for science fiction and fantasy has been inspired by many writers, including Ursula K. LeGuin, Philip K. Dick, Samuel R. Delany, Robert Silverberg, Harlan Ellison, Cordwainer Smith, Samuel R. Delany and others. I'm also fond of rock music, especially hard rock and alternative styles. As you can tell, I have eclectic tastes. Just the way I like it.
