Most of my books tend to be about women, funnily enough. But I grew up on a lot of Tamora Pierce…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

See almost every story I read growing up, it was male heroes. I grew up on a lot of classics and King Arthur and Robin Hood and Phineus Fogg were all men. Later I got into scifi and fantasy and the trend continued with Lazarus Long and Ender and Baginsses. <\/p>\n

TV wasn’t any better with Captain Kirk and Picard and Bridger and Sheridan. Sam Beckett and The Doctor. <\/p>\n

Movies gave me Indiana Jones and William Wallace. <\/p>\n

I realize this should make me want to write more female characters. I know the problem with representation. But it’s still very, very hard for me to write female characters, though I do try. At least I’ve written River and Tamara. <\/p>\n
