Author's word

Dear reader:

We offer you a few notes (oh my, you'll say, it's like a sales drone) on the works of (enough is enough!..) a SF author...

Stop it. Cut it short. Brevity is the soul of something, I forget what of...

But I'll have to say a few words, anyway.

First, I am glad there are so many people who derive pleasure out of a strange pursuit that reading science fiction certainly is. None of them can really explain why they do that, other than saying "tastes differ." Being a SF fan, I can only welcome their abundance. And twice so, being a SF author.

Second, I am happy to have this website, created by my diligent friends (if only I was as hardworking myself... no chance here). Many thanks to them.

Third, you can ask questions. I'll try to answer.

Finally, "don't shoot me, I am doing my best." How good "my best" is, is left to you to decide. This site certailnly will expand, and I hope that you'll like the new texts. The only thing left now is to write them.

Please consider my bow a running start. Wish me good luck. And I wish good luck to all of those who came here.

And, of course, happy reading!
