"By profession I'm a semiretired research scientist, chemical kinetics applied to air pollution problems. By avocation I'm a second generation science fiction fan and first generation writer. On my own I sold quite a few stories to Analog, etc. With Andy Offutt I did three Tiana books (DEMON IN THE MIRROR, EYES OF SARSIS, WEB OF THE SPIDER) all for Pocket Books, and a novel that was serialized in Analog, RAILS ACROSS THE GALAXY."
