I am retired, 70, working on a new novel after a dry spell lasting several years. I am partial to science fiction, particularly the 'soft' sciences with more emphasis on character development and less on the hardware..
I live on the West Coast of Canada. Occasionally referred to as the Wet Coast.
My favorite authors in no particular order are: Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Marian Zimmer Bradley,Anne McCaffrey. and too many others to mention.

When I am not writing I ride herd on three furbabies: two small dogs and a cat. I share a large townhouse and a small bank account with my same sex partner of 5 years.. And we plan to be married in September of this year..
Oh yes, and I am currently exploring decoupage, my other hobby.
