"One of the best hard science-fiction writers ever. He really knows his stuff."
--Gregory Benford

Brief biography

Science Fiction

I'm a science fiction writer who has won the Hugo and Nebula awards, and have published one novel, a collection of short stories, one volume of poetry, and a hundred or so short stories. Click here to get to the page with my writing, science fiction, and poetry.

Science Stuff

Writing is not my full time job. In my main job, I am a scientist at the NASA John Glenn Research Center, where I work on Mars missions and on developing advanced concepts and technology for future space missions. Click here for the page for my activities in science and technology

Poetry

OK, I admit it: I also sometimes commit acts of poetry, and have even published a poetry collection, Iron Angels. Click here for more about my secret life as a poet.
