About the author--from the author: I have an academic background in engineering and science, and a degree in space science in part. For years I worked as a scientific copy editor for a nonfiction publishing house, but now I spend my days--and too many late nights--trying to solve fictional "what if" problems. I've been writing for over 22 years.

Notes about "Backflow": This hard sci-fi novella contains some swearing. I like to call this story "engineering fiction." It is part of my Diamond Universe, but "Backflow" is a stand-alone story of around 23,900 words. The following books are also part of my Diamond Universe:

1) "Firestone"--the second book with the Backflow characters

2) "Endland"

3) "Diamond On Your Radar"

4) "A Nickel For Your Cosmic Thoughts (because life has become more expensive)"--which is now inside "The Light In That Night"

5) "Lead Me To Paradiso"

6) "Captain's Choice"

7) "Destinations"
