About Me
I've been reading SF and fantasy since the 1960s.I'm interested in hard SF, fantasy, alternative history. My tastes are pretty eclectic ranging from Asimov to Zelazny, from Bujold to Stross, from Bear to Vinge, from Banks to Plexico. If provoked, I'll write a sonnet or a villanelle. If badly provoked, a ballade.
