I regret having been the bearer of ambiguous tidings.

You don't have conversations with microprocessors. You tell them what to do, then helplessly watch the disaster when they take you literally!

Science Fiction is the jazz of literature.
David Brin
Image
The worst mistake of first contact, made throughout history by individuals on both sides of every new encounter, has been the unfortunate habit of making assumptions. It often proved fatal.

My education and background thoroughly inform my writing
David Brin

I like to be surprised. Fresh implications and plot twists erupt as a story unfolds. Characters develop backgrounds, adding depth and feeling. Writing feels like exploring
