Dr. V. L. Bending
Biography
I had an unconventional upbringing that taught me three things above all: to ask questions about everything, to think critically about the answers I get, and to be confident (but hopefully not overly so) in myself. If space is the final frontier, understanding is the final frontier of the mind, and it's that that I live to explore.
Besides writing books, I'm a tutor and spend my spare time fixing my bomb site of a garden (an activity I find more enjoyable than one might expect), and enjoy reading, gaming, climbing, caving, and generally adventuring. I love animals, and have had or helped look after an endless string of pets: mice, gerbils, hamsters, rats, lizards, snakes, rabbits, cats, and dogs. Since I can't keep pets in my current house, I tend the garden, feed the wild birds, and grow houseplants, including a coleus that really should have died last year...
