Began as a podcaster and served as editor of Escape Pod; author of the novel Six Wakes (translated as I sei cloni) and other works in SF/fantasy; creator/host of the podcast "I Should Be Writing".

A technically competent science-fiction locked-room mystery about six cloned crew members on a 400-year voyage. The review praises character ecology and plotting but finds the work lacking a deeper genius or broader SF ambition. Overall a mixed, measured assessment.
