My mother is a southern lady with short dark hair and a wary, blue-eyed smile. She is also an experimental chemist and teaches a college course entitled The Chemistry of Cooking.
I was raised Unitarian, and my mother said she took us to church so that we wouldn't get religious later in life.
Science fiction writers, when I was a kid, were a big deal.
An elephant funeral makes me weep every time, and so does an ad with a kid leaving home for college.
Human love and desire is my bag.
I'm not despairing of love at all.
