Richard Ferguson
Richard Ferguson asked Colin Alexander:

Thank you for your responses. I will look into your Leif the Lucky books. Goodreads won't let me simply thank you--I must ask a question. So, how did you end up as a physician (and not as an astronomer or physicist)?

Colin Alexander Hi, Richard, sorry for the delayed response here; I did not see the second question. I actually did want to be an astrophysicist when I was in grade school. It turned out, though, that my strengths are in biochemistry, chemistry, and medicine, so that was the direction I took my career, and I kept the astronomy and physics for fiction. I think that was the best way for it to end up.
