Martha Wells Quotes

Quotations and aphorisms by Martha Wells:

I think it’s also safe to say genre TV and movies were a big influence - the first stories I ever tried to write were Godzilla fan fiction when I was in elementary school, complete with elaborate maps of Monster Island made with multiple sheets of typing paper and nearly six feet wide. I kind of wish I still had those.

The public library my parents took me to in Fort Worth had the children’s section next to the SF/F section, so I was reading adult SF/F at a very young age.
