Who is your favorite character in the Barsoom canon? (And why?)
John Carter of Mars. Duh. He’s the hero. He was the one I projected all my youthful needs and desires into. I wanted to be him back then.
Tell us a bit about your story in the anthology. What’s it about?
I tried to write a capsulized novel. I think SYNTHETIC MEN OF MARS and MASTERMIND OF MARS, and some of the shorter tales from JOHN CARTER OF MARS were in my head when I wrote my story. I tried to ring certain bells from all of those things, and to give it a feel that I thought would make it fit within the canon. I had a great time.
