Biography
I was born in St. Joseph, Michigan in 1966 but I grew up on a "farm" in Los Lunas, New Mexico. I use the scare quotes because we didn't actually raise much food, we just kept farm animals as pets. Well, we did eat the pigs and the chicken's eggs. I have a BS in Biology from the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, a well known party school in the Big Ten (where Big Ten refers to the ten biggest mining schools, of which there are actually only two, and they're not that big). I have a PhD in Biochemistry from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and I use that PhD on a daily basis as Director of Biology at Acetylon.
I wrote Radio Freefall when I was working on my postdoctoral fellowship in Denver. I found writing to be a good way to relax after a long day doing experiments. I didn't know at the time how unlikely it was I would get it published. Looking back I realize how lucky I was to get input from published authors and professional agents, and how lucky I was to meet David Hartwell, who bought and published it.
