The Stars Down Under, and The

adventures in deep space. My work has appeared in Asimov's, Strange Horizons,
Realms of Fantasy and several other magazines and

bikini. A long time ago. Be sure to check out Sam Cameron, who writes stories
for LGBTQ teens and adults starting with this adventure:
The U.S. Navy commissioned me as an officer and sent me on various and odd (mis)adventures to Guam, Newfoundland and Key West: since then, people have paid me to be a Hollywood assistant, software instructor, bureaucrat and college professor. Various likes: My spouts (they know who they are), Star Wars, Stargate, Supernatural, being vegetarian and fabulous writers such as (but not limited to) Stephen King, Guy Gavriel Kay, Diana Gabaldon, Dennis Lehane, James Patrick Kelly, Greg van Eekhout, Sarah Prineas, and C.C. Finlay. Thank you to Sue, Terry B., Terry O., Stephanie, Janine, Wendy, Cindy and Angela |
