About Me

I was born
many
years ago in Hull, UK. Somewhere in my teens I decided
I wanted to be a science fiction writer like John Wyndham, Brian Aldiss
and Arthur C. Clarke and got my first rejection slips as an
undergraduate. Later I
moved to Vancouver, BC to do a PhD in Chemical Physics at UBC. Near the
end of my career as a student I finally made my first sale (to Galaxy
magazine), which characteristically came in the middle of a long period
of writer’s block. A couple of years later, now a fully fledged science
post-doc but still blocked, I moved to Ottawa for a temporary position
with the National Research Council of Canada. On the way I spent six
weeks in Michigan at the Clarion writers' workshop. Recent PublicationsPOETRY“Comet
