From the Author
My father was an engineer, and in the normal course of things, I probably would have become one as well. But I was lured away from the engineering by science, and then lured away from science by literature. Science fiction allows me to keep faith with my past as well as my future. The works themselves range from hard science fiction to stone fantasy, with stops at all stations in between, and are written at whatever length is best. There is much about them that seems obvious to me, much that cuts close to the bone. But I'm neither a confessional writer nor a ventriloquist. Stories must speak for themselves or not at all.
