At times during my podcastressing career, I have stumbled upon authors about whom I know very little, and have been fortunate to find that you, resourceful mariners of the Internet's belly, have proven yourselves well worth your collective avoirdupois in gold and other fine metals, and for that, I thank you. Sometimes, in fact, I'll strike big, and an author him or herself will get in touch and fill me in on the missing t-crosses and so on, and so I ask again, who can tell me anything about the author of this brilliant bit of sci-fi wonder, and more importantly, which of you respond to this story as wondrously as I did? Oh And Lastly: thanks to Soren for the recommendation.
