edit data

Edwin Downward describes himself as a Christian, a Father, a Husband, and a writer of Science Fiction Adventures.

The Downward family lives as far away from his work near the centre of Vancouver BC as a reasonable commute will allow in a small house guarded by a crack squad of Vorpal Bunnies supported by a duo of Karate Kitties.

Synergy of Hopes is his first manuscript crafted for the express purpose of publication.

A short teaser, One's Place, is available for free download from the Published Works page on his website.

Is a manned trip to Mars actually all that dangerous?

I look back to the history I know coming from a western perspective. Columbus faced immense danger when he set sail for India across the Atlantic.
