In the spring of 1996, Ken Rand sold his first interview to Talebones magazine. The interview (with the late Roger Zelazny) was the first of thirty interviews with speculative fiction writers, a ten year run that ended in the spring of 2006. Human Visions reprints those interviews, giving us a glimpse into the minds and hearts of the best writers of SF and Fantasy. Rand's questions, past and present, help define the essence of the genre. Interviews include: Kevin J. Anderson . Greg Bear . Ben Bova . Edward Bryant Lois McMaster Bujold . Jack Cady . C.J. Cherryh . Charles de Lint . Michael & Kathleen Gear . Joe Haldeman .
