I was born in Seattle, WA more than half a century ago. However I promptly left and have come back to the USA a total of four times, tops, mainly on vacation. I have lived in Venezuela, England and all over Spain. Currently (if by "for the last 25" years is current) I am a practicing Pediatrician. At the moment (one never knows) I live in Mallorca, which is a beautiful island in the Mediterranean. My interest in Fantasy and SF is from so far back that for the life of me, I can’t remember the first book that made me go “wow,” but it was probably something by Asimov.
