      What kind of science fiction?

      As a gal who grew up on TNG and DS9 episodes, I absolutely love space ships! Anything with a good galaxy spanning adventure is high on my list to read. I’ve been reading some old Star Trek novels that are always fun times.

      Lately I’ve been enjoying scifi romance novels. The local romance bookstore separates scifi/fantasy romance from the contemporary stuff making it easier to find.

      What are you reading right now?

      Currently reading Chaos Vector 2nd book of The Protectorate trilogy by Megan E. O’Keefe. I picked the first one up at the local book crawl a few years ago because the cover looked really cool. I try to read as little as I can about a book before I start it, I even avoid back cover blurbs or at least only skim the first 2-3 sentences. That’s how I picked this one.

      Who’s your favourite author?

      Scifi: James SA Corey, John Scalzi, and Jessie Mihalik are my current top 3 authors. I also enjoy some Huxley, Bradbury, Andy Weir

      Less scifi, but sometimes adjacentish: Blake Crouch, Kit Rocha, Philip Pullman, Ken Liu

      What’s your address?

      My address is:

      123456 Where a Bunch of Cool Spiders Live Court

      Big Bug City, ADOGN 00001

          Oh shoot, I’d misremembered Charles Sheffield’s Heritage series as being by Jerry Pournelle and Larry Niven. Huge impossible megastructures in space left behind by unknowable beings who may just have had a goofy sense of humor.

          Higher Education and the rest of that series hit me at just the right age.
