Vanessa MacLaren-Wray
Vanessa MacLaren-Wray writes speculative fiction exploring the challenges of communication and attachment in a diverse, complex universe. As a mechanical engineer, she has worked on shifting the energy economy to renewables and storage. She also likes to build odd little robots who make tea and play music.
Although denying any knowledge of alien technologies or extrasolar civilizations, when asked to write what she knows, Vanessa gravitates towards wormhole-based transit systems and cultural matrices only partly occupied by human beings.
Vanessa is the author of All That Was Asked and Parrish Blue. You can find out more about her works and world at cometarytales.com.
