I am a Canadian writer eternally enamoured with fantasy, horror, science fiction, and those fears that are the most patient hunters – forgetting, letting too much time pass, being too small to leave so much as a fingerprint on an indifferent universe or too late to make a difference. Right now, I am shopping around a science fiction novel that serves as fertile ground for all those fears – one in which the question of whether bioengineer Katya can save her imperilled, living home slowly becomes the question of whether she should.
