More About the Author

I have recently published my first science fiction novel on the Kindle: The Coldest Equations. (If you like SF TV, you will love this book. Buy it today!)

I also am an annotator - my most successful book to date is my annotation of the Dorothy Sayers novel, Whose Body? which was also the first appearance of Lord Peter Wimsey.

As the daughter of a pilot in the Air Force, who upon retirement was a cargo pilot who flew in Africa and the Middle East, I've traveled throughout the United States and a good bit of the world. This early travel instilled in me a wanderlust that will never be slaked.

At age 13 I traveled to England for the first time, where I saw my first play, The Mousetrap, by Agatha Christie; got my first crush on an actor (Brian McDermott, who played DS Trotter); and within a day or two read my first Agatha Christie book, The Secret Adversary. In one fell swoop I fell in love with the theatre and with the mystery genre.

My interest in the science fiction genre started with the classic - the best - the original Star Trek TV series. I currently am co-publisher of The Thunder Child science fiction and fantasy webzine, and co-publisher of Volcano Seven, a series of scientific blogs (also available on the Kindle).

I'm a collector, and what I collect is experiences. One goal is to visit and see a game at every ballpark in the US (yes, it was inspired by a credit card commercial of many years ago), I want to see a professional production of every Agatha Christie play (Black Coffee and Akhneton are the two remaining plays on my list), and drive across country to trace the route - at least what remains of - the classic Route 66.

This review is from: The Freedom Seat Issue 2 (Kindle Edition)

I was careful this time to give a complete table of contents for Freedom Seat Reviews issue 2... something I had neglected to do for the first issue...and yet I see that that section isn't even showing up! So, once again, I must place the table of contents here! Permit a slight grrrrrr.

Articles
1. Aviation on stamps, first in a series. Q8: Mail by Aeroplane - the first plane on a stamp, issued in 1913 by the US.
2. Women Aviation Artists
