Author Interview - Daniel Sherrier
I’m pleased to have the opportunity to interview Daniel Sherrier , author of Earths in Space and RIP.
Thank you for joining us today. How are you?

Also, I’ve had a newspaper byline every week for about seven years now.
Do you find that your work fits easily into a particular genre? If not, why?
