Writing is most of what I do these days, a nice balance of fiction, freelance science articles, reviews, and commentary. Before any of that I made a living writing and producing documentary films and TV specials. My first love was film and theater, always in concert with a fascination for science. My dad was an air force officer and I grew up in various places; the longest stretch was at Sandia Base in New Mexico. There's lots more on all this on the website.
