Piers Anthony Dillingham Jacob (born 6 August 1934 in Oxford, England) is an English American author in the science fiction and fantasy genres, publishing under the name Piers Anthony. He is most famous for his long-running novel series set in the fictional realm of Xanth.
Many of his books have appeared on the New York Times Best Seller list. He has stated that one of his greatest achievements has been to publish a book for every letter of the alphabet, from Anthonology to Zombie Lover.
Early life
Anthony's family emigrated to the United States from Britain when he was six. He graduated from Goddard College in Vermont in 1956. On This American Life on July 27, 2012, Anthony revealed that his parents had divorced, he was bullied, and he had poor grades in school. Anthony referred to his high school as "a very fancy private school", and refuses to donate money to the school, because as a student, he recalls being part of "the lower crust", and that no one paid attention to or cared about him. He said, "I didn't like being a member of the under class, of the peons like that". He became a naturalized U.S. citizen while serving in the United States Army in 1958. After completing a two-year stint in military service, he briefly taught school at Admiral Farragut Academy in St. Petersburg, Florida before becoming a full-time writer.
"All things make sense; you just have to fathom how they make sense."
"That most dangerous of opponents: the one who took pains to comprehend the position of his adversary."
"We are all creatures of our ancestry! There is no right and wrong, objectively."
"I maintain an ongoing survey of Internet Publishing and self publishing, so that it is now possible for any writer with a book to get it published at nominal cost or free, and to have it on sale at booksellers like Amazon.com."
"When one person makes an accusation, check to be sure he himself is not the guilty one. Sometimes it is those whose case is weak who make the most clamour."
"SF is the literature of the theoretically possible, and F is the literature of the impossible."
"But I don't read or listen for pleasure. I have too much else to do."
"I wish my readers took less of my time - about a third of my working time goes to them - but I love and need them all."
"I have always admired the work of Phil Farmer and was glad for the chance to work with him. Readers today may be too young to remember his classics like The Lovers."
"What I like least is dealing with publishers who simply don't want collaborations regardless of their merit."
"I do one Xanth novel a year, because at the moment that is all that publishers will accept; they don't want any other type of fiction from me, so Xanth pays my way."
"As for collaboration - I have done a lot, 26 books, and found publishers increasingly resistive to them. It's not that the books are bad; editors won't even read them."
"I never do a full outline, and if I did, I would not feel bound to it, because the view from inside a scene can be different from the view outside it. But neither do I just start writing and see what happens; I am far more disciplined than that."
"When I started writing this, I found that I simply couldn't take fantasy seriously, so it became humorous, and continued from there."
"It would be easier to write a novel without reader input, but I feel the fiction is richer for it."
"In fact, I believe that we need better sex education in our own culture, here in America, so that young folk learn about things like venereal disease before they encounter it."
"At the time I wrote Xone I had never been on the Internet."
Piers Anthony (Xanth) | The Young Adult Novelist Who Groomed Generations of Children
My favorite childhood novelist, hands down, was Piers Anthony, author of such beloved series as Xanth and the Incarnations of Immortality. Upon recently revisiting his works as an adult and experiencing them through a more well-developed and mature lens, I noticed something rather... odd. The stories he has written are absolutely riddled with graphic depictions of and heinous justifications for illicit acts involving minors, and it's not just a couple of times. This is an underlying theme which has been present throughout most of his books and spanning across his entire career. This is the tale of that time when Piers Anthony successfully groomed multiple generations of children without anyone noticing.

Chthon by Piers Anthony - The Wildest Sci Fi Book I've Ever Read
Instead of setting up a Patreon I decided to sell many of the weird/vintage genre books I find on my thrift store wanders. If you like the channel, consider picking up a book, I make about five bucks per. Paperbacks are priced at $10.
https://www.etsy.com/shop/Bookpilled
This is a review of Chthon, Piers Anthony's first published novel. It was the product of seven presumably weird years for Piers, when he was in the army. It's a psychosexual / just normal sexual journey through a dark and confusing universe. Was it good? No. Was it bad? Yes and no. I love it.

Personal Time With Greg: Piers Anthony
I used to read one book every week when I was a kid, and during my early teen years I read what I think was the complete collection of Piers Anthony novels at the time. Looking back, there were some obvious reasons why a teenage boy would be into his writing, but it was also a silly couple of settings with some interesting rules and premises.
