I myself was born in Sacramento, California in 1966.

I have a better internal and intuitive understanding of folklore and myth than science and technology, so in that way fantasy is easier.

I did not want to write a story about the invasion of Earth, so I had to create a race capable of living nearby, which meant to either on the Moon, on Mars, or on Venus. I picked Venus.

I'm told my SF is of the hard variety and my Fantasy is romantic but hopefully all the characters are strong and the plots are lively.

I graduated from the University of Michigan with a BA in Communications and left formal education behind.

Then, I realized that there is an indigenous presence in the Solar System. It's us. So, then, I got to wondering what would happen if a more technologically advanced society moved next door to us, the way we moved next door to the American Indians.

I feel SF is going through an experimental phase right now.
