I am a writer, amateur astronomer, and long-time fan of science fiction living in Tucson, AZ. I'm a transplanted desert rat, having come to the Sonoran Desert of the American Southwest many years ago from my childhood home in Illinois. I have a B.S. in plant biology from the University of Arizona, and have in the past worked as a laboratory technician for that institution. Among many other things, I am also a student of history, natural history, and backyard horticulture. I also cook a pretty good green chili pork stew.
But most of all, I'm a writer. The art of writing is one of those matters that I find difficult to trace to a single source of inspiration in my life. Instead of an "Aha! This is it!" moment, I would say my desire to write is the cumulative effect of my life-long print addiction. My parents once teased me by claiming I learned to read before I could tie my own shoelaces. Whether or not that's true, I learned to read very early in life, and have as a reader always cast a very wide net. My bookshelves are crowded and eclectic, with fiction by C.J. Cherryh, Isaac Asimov, and Tony Hillerman, and nonfiction by Annie Dillard, Stephen Jay Gould, and Ron Chernow, among many others. It's no doubt due to my eclectic reading habits that I have an equal interest in writing both fiction and nonfiction. The experience of reading, of feeling what a writer could do to my head and my heart with their words, eventually moved me to see if I could do the same thing for others. I'm still trying to answer that question.
Estas dos gracias, la fe y la esperanza, son tan parecidas que se han tomado la una por la otra. Hay una afinidad tan cercana entre ellas que, como dijo Lutero, es difícil encontrar una diferencia. Pero, aunque están colocadas cerca, como las dos alas de los querubines en el propiciatorio, no son lo mismo. En efecto, en algunas cosas la fe y la esperanza coinciden. Ambas se alimentan de la promesa; ambas ayudan a sostener el alma en las dificultades. La fe y la esperanza son como dos globos colocados debajo del cristiano, que le impiden hundirse en las aguas de la aflicción. Ambas gracias, como el agua medicinal, reconfortan al alma que desfallece. Hay alegría en la creencia; alegría en la esperanza
