Bio
As science-buff, and science writer too,
I have bit of technophilic view
But sentimental, also, is my mind
And as you see, I'm poetry-inclined
I'm part of groups that work to conquer space
And spread the eggs to safeguard our young race
A skeptic, charity worker, and a dreamer
And businessman, and anti-evil-schemer
A buff in science, and in history
Has led to politics (with little mystery)
So I am often writing in that vein
But I am fond of people, in the main
I'm slowly writing novels (aren't we all)?
But only late heard science fiction's call.
All writing prior's been on tech and biz
But now my muse for fiction starts to fizz.
And poetry is new to me as well
I'm rough at it, as you can surely tell
I grew up breathing Heinlein, Niven, Clarke;
For me, their worlds have always held a spark
But heretofore I read, and did not write.
With help from you, and luck, now I just might.
Three novels done so far, a fourth's begun
At fifty thousand words so far. It's fun.
And work, and sweat, and needs some real critique...
So I'll do some, then you can take a peek.
I follow evolution, physics, space,
Of Paleontology I too have a trace.
At sundry other sciences I dabble.
And wordplay (though I don't spend time with Scrabble).
And history, American and the world
Excites me as that panoply's unfurled
I answer science questions in some groups
That Yahoo hosts, along with other troops
I'm learning bits of law now on the side
To handle better life's oft-bumpy ride
I had a techno-business in SoCal
With my departed Lady as my pal
These days my itch for science writing's sated
With research grant proposals. Highly rated!
The writing keeps me busy—and I've been—
But thanks for looking, my (potential?) friend!
