As a young kid I watched Neil Armstrong take that 'one small step', and I began devouring science fiction, from Asimov's Foundation, Clarke's Rama and Herbert's Dune, to today's Adrian Tchaikovsky and others.  The Eden Paradox grew from a short story to a four-book series, followed by my take on alien AI in the Children of the Eye series. Always on the hunt for new sci-fi, always looking up to the stars and wondering not if, but when.
