A major source of my life’s frustration was being ‘stuck’ in a physical body; limited by physiology to exist, for the most part, in a single thin plane, glued by gravity to planet Earth. One of the greatest sources of joy (right behind the love of my family and dog, good wine and food) has been shedding that grief through the creation of this trilogy. There is only so much one can do as a human. In its pages, I have time traveled, surrounded by fascinating multiverse characters, zipped safely and playfully from star to star, freed a captive orca and saved many beloved species from extinction! Building the logic of the processes has been every bit as exhilarating as the imagining! Cetacean sci-fi writing has been my mental anti-glue!
