A Tree Cannot Grow In

I Began Reading Science Fiction Before I Was 12 And Started Writing Science Fiction Around The Same Time.

Science Fiction Let Me Do Both. It Let Me Look Into Science And Stick My Nose In Everywhere.

I Recognize We Will Pay More Attention When We Have Different Leadership.

I'm Me, And I'm Here, And I'm Writing.

I'm A 48-year-old Writer Who Can Remember Being A 10-year-old Writer And Who Expects Someday To Be An 80-year-old Writer. I'm Also Comfortably Asocial -- A Hermit In The Middle Of Los Angeles -- A Pessimist If I'm Not Careful, A Feminist, A Black, A Former Baptist, An Oil-and-water Combination Of Ambition, Laziness, Insecurity, Certainty, And Drive.
