About the author
Bill Clearlake
11 books12 followersPoet, author, musician, steel worker, award-winning photojournalist, amateur astronomer. I've worked security for Facebook and NVIDIA, volunteered for the American Red Cross teaching CPR and First Aid, and at WQED TV on the lighting and floor crew for Mister Rogers Neighborhood. As a Software Engineer, I wrote the first accounting software for Microsoft Windows which became Peachtree Accounting for Windows, and worked for a company where I helped pioneer internet video conferencing.
I've been a Line Cook, EMT, and HAZMAT Tech. I was also a Day Manager of the infamous Casa Marina Hotel in San Francisco, where I lived with Vietnam Veterans, drug dealers, prostitutes, exotic dancers, and people released by then Governor Ronald Reagan from the state's mental hospitals. Burning Man folks know me as Ranger Rigged with 12 events out in the dust.
I love hiking, sailing, body surfing, snorkeling, playing guitar, cooking, and stargazing.
I've had a lifelong interest in the sciences and science fiction and bring a broad range of experience to the genre.
I hope you buy and enjoy all of my books!

I mainly read non-fiction and biographies and I “highly recommended” this book.
The writing is character driven and kept me wanting to know “what happens next.”
This book is classified as science fiction and while the technology is from an imagined future the place is a known earth and people are strongly relatable.
Yes, the author is my husband however I would not put my name to this review if I didn’t believe it, and I wanted to provide a review that might be marked as “Helpful."
I hope you enjoy this book as much as I have.
