I began writing at fourteen to entertain my sister, but it took me almost four years before I wrote something that might be considered half way good, and another year or two to fully complete a novel, The Sweeper Pilot. Since then, I’ve written a variety of both short stories and parts of novels, all of them science fiction of some variety. Currently, I live in South Dakota. I attend college, work at the writing center and study to be an elementary teacher. When I have time, I write, draw, waste time and read good books.

About the Author

As the door closes behind me, the irritating noise from the drums and horns all but disappear. With that distraction gone, the emotions of this newly contacted race from Dipson-3 focus so sharply I almost feel physically hit. President Lee is curious, interested, but also cautious. Can I blame him? No. After all, his people have only questioned the possibility of people from other worlds until a week ago. The vice president and the other members of the president’s circle match the president’s opinion, with the sole exception of his daughter, Daisy. But what she cares about, I can’t even begin to speculate. Thirty minutes association with a race only gives me the most basic level of emotions.

Ka’za, my lady, smiles as she shakes President Lee’s hand again, then sits and seemingly absently pulls off her gloves. Unlike these people, we have hypersensitive skin and, as such, make efforts to protect it against unwanted touch. Though Ka’za thinks the gloves make her look too formal here, I personally think they offset the differences between herself and them well. Compared to me, in a dark uniform, Ka’za clearly becomes the center of attention and accepts that place well.

President Lee sits across from her, and I take my position behind Ka’za.
