Interview With Author Bob Freeman
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
The author is a retired Public Health Microbiologist/Lab Director/LIMS Software designer and a confirmed science geek.
With expertise in anaerobic microbiology and writing an exorbitant number of tech manuals and protocols, the only logical path going forward was to write what I wished.
Misunderstanding the common SciFi tropes of the day, the author builds complex worlds, adds a few interesting characters, and lets them have at it.
Further expanding on tropes, the stories are not boom/bang/fight from the start, and every third page but are explicitly designed not to be interesting to an eight-year-old male. Interesting kids of any age or sex may enjoy the work despite the lack of explosions.
The author began writing SciFi in 2021 at the tender age of 70 and is writing short stories before tackling his 4th novel in the LiftShip series.
