My Way Of Finding A

If You Never Stepped On Anybody's Toes, You Never Been For A Walk.

Every Time I Step Onto An Airplane, I Turn To The Right And Take A Good, Hard Stare Into The Maw Of The Engine. I Don't Know What I'm Looking For. I Just Do It.

As A Biologist, I Can't Think Of Myself As Anything But An Animal Among Animals And Plant.

If My Setting Is New To A Reader, Or The Concerns Of The Novel Are New, I Hope They Will Learn Something About The World. I Would Like To Say That They Can Trust That What They Do Learn In The Novel Will Be Accurate, Because I Pay A Lot Of Attention To Facts. I Do A Lot Of Research To Make Sure That I'm Not Giving Them, You Know, Blue Moons Of Jupiter. It's Not Science Fiction.

Thanks For This Day, For All Birds Safe In Their Nests, For Whatever This Is, For Life.
