Goodreads asked H. Peter Alesso:

How do you get inspired to write?

H. Peter Alesso I love words.

That wasn't always the case. My first infatuation was with numbers which explains my career as a research scientist. However, with maturity came insight into the elegance and efficacy of words. I learned to express myself in narratives rather than in algorithms.

I discovered that basic human behavior—emotional and physiological reactions to specific internal and external stresses—could be well-expressed though stories. What makes a science fiction story special is the tension originates at unexpected locations with unusual characters and strange circumstance, all of which combine to produce surprisingly ordinary human responses.

I've enjoyed this wonderful form of entertainment all my life. Now I find pleasure in manufacturing the adventures for myself.
