I’ve been a hardsci-fi fan my whole life, but everyone else I know who’s an avid reader are allfantasy fans. Over the years I’ve borrowed all their books, and learned tolove that genre as well.My science fiction influences include the old masters; Heinlein, Asimov, Niven,Bradbury, Clarke, etc. Also William Gibson, Iain M. Banks, and Ender’s Game byOrson Scott Card. My favorite relatively unknown author is Daniel Keyes Moran,and if you like sci-fi you should read his Continuing Time trilogy; EmeraldEyes, The Long Run, and The Last Dancer. They might be out of print, but Ithink you can still get them as ebooks online.My fantasy influences include Raymond E. Feist, David Eddings, and JaquelineCarey.I’ve also been influenced as a fiction writer by my sociological work, and myscience fiction novel People Of The Tiger (and the rest of The Rational FutureSeries) is set in a utopian future where my social policies have beenimplemented, which is a good way to get those ideas out into the publicconsciousness.Much of my social thinking permeates my fantasy novel Blessings Of A Curse aswell, though it’s a lot harder to notice there. I’ve also incorporated my ideas onthe law and legal reform in that book.I was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on Sept 21, 1963. I'mestranged from my father, having met him twice since I was a toddler. I livedin Calgary, Alberta, Canada from 1980 to 2014, since then I've lived in Cebu, Philippines. Now I can travel where I want, and I might, at any time. But it's hard to beat the Philippines.I have three brothers and a sister. My sister is married, she and her husband each have two grown sons. All of them and my mother live in Calgary, except me and one nephew here in Cebu.I'm intensely and compulsively self-educated, I read at about 300 words perminute, and I've increased my IQ to about 160.I've always enjoyed inventing and designing machines. Most of the machinesI've designed are new types of vehicles.I was a professional musician for about nine years. My musical skills includelead and harmony vocals, most styles of guitar and bass guitar, some drums andkeyboards, songwriting, mixing, and production.I spent about fifteen years researching and designing a comprehensive change insociety and culture that will solve all the world’s major problems, guided bythe principles of bio-sociology as introduced and developed by Prof. Edward O.Wilson, and influenced by Dr. Desmond Morris’ human sociobiology. I haven'tworked on it like a fanatic over the last eighteen years like I did for theprevious fifteen, but I have continued to develop my work in this field.Wayne Edward ClarkeMay 26, 2017.view less
