| Canadian, living in Chicago, of a certain age. I love music, democracy, SF, the Doctor (Nine particularly, but all of them in general; I remember seeing the very first broadcast of One, Barbara, Ian, and Susan, when they first arrived on the CBC), and other various strange and beautiful things. I write nonfiction for a living, but I wrote fiction long before that. Can I still do it? We'll see.... | |
