Author Geoffreyjen Edwards, before becoming a science-fiction writer, led a successful career as a full-time scientist. He has worked in a broad range of disciplines, including astrophysics, forestry, agriculture, cognitive science, linguistics, artificial intelligence, museum studies, peformance and installation art, rehabilitation and disability studies. This gives his science fiction a depth and richness worthy of the genre. He is now creating a story-telling mythos that embraces both science fiction and other writing endeavours (historical fiction, thrillers, literary fiction). He lives and works in Quebec City, Canada. In addition to writing books, GJ is also a fashion designer and a consultant on sustainable innovation projects.

Japan gleanings - textiles and poetry

I went there as part of a research project (even though I am a retired scientist, I still get invitations from time to time), but took advantage of being there to explore several aspects of Japanese cu
