Writer of thoughtful and hopeful science fiction. I love cool ideas and great stories. Former radio guy when radio was local. Addicted to Nature too.
My new science fiction novel Zenith: Aftermath is available for pre-order, coming out Oct. 31st. It's an exploration of digital intelligences and uploading as a group of VIPs is flung into a future world without humans. books2read.com/ZenithAfterm... #newbooks #SFF

The mama loon surfaces and feeds her chick with a fish. And if you're patient, you can be there with a camera.

Brain-computer interfaces as a commercial product? That’s the scenario of my SF-thriller novel Augment Nation and now China is heavily into the technology, according to Wired magazine www.wired.com/story/china-... . #SFF

Loons are one of my favourite perks of living in Northern Ontario. Especially when the chicks arrive.

It's good to get outside and see what Nature's offering. Today it was lots of bees.

You’d think that all those local references would limit the size of his audience, but since it’s still considered a classic 700 years later, Danté’s literary skills obviously overcame that!

A conservationist squirrel? A would-be tree farmer? Who knows? Must have had some good reason to plant a pine cone upright like a tree.

Bemused by the outpouring of Canadian pride recently? To be clear, we’re privileged to have a country that’s one of the best places in the world to live. That doesn't mean we think we’re better people than anyone else. Our pride is for our country and its shared values. An important distinction.

Thanks to Joseph Sullivan & Michaela Teschendorff Harden for the kind words in their reviews of my novels Augment Nation and Indigent Earth for the Australian science fiction magazine Aurealis. It's nice to have readers down under! aurealis.com.au/store/aureal...
(Great price for the magazine too!)

There are lots of cat pix and fox pix on BlueSky. How about a deer pic?

We may not be eager to see them arrive, but early snowfalls can be pretty.
