Hello new followers! I know that many of you found me because of the birthday posts and cover art. I have been writing religiously about the texts-- published primarily between 1945-1985 -- on my fanzine website for more than a decade: https://sciencefictionruminations.com/

I'm an obsessive reader and writer of whim. I've conducted review series on diverse topics from Native American SF authors to generation ships.
