I am a science fiction writer who so far has had sixteen stories in the New York publication Analog. My novel 'The Expediter' was published in 1990. A new novel 'The Alphanauts' will appear in the Spring of 2006. I am a Fellow of the British Interplanetary Society, and a past president of the Calgary branch of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. I grew up in Birmingham England, and emigrated to Canada in 1952. I have lived in Calgary since that time.
