NON-FICTION

Quote
All science fiction has its basis in the real world. This is the real world I base mine in. It has jokes and cups of tea and big smiles. Sometimes I’m in awe of the power of fiction to unite us. I can say to the world “this is how it looks to me; is this how it looks to you?” and if I listen to the wind sometimes I’m lucky enough to hear a yes.
