Now retired from the university where I was for more than 40 years a top research scientist working at the intersection between the arts and the sciences, I am now a full time writer (novels, poetry, essays), as well as CEO of Transforma Garments inc. (), a fashion design company selling transformative garments. I am in the process of publishing an extensive science fiction saga - actually, a series of 15 interconnected novels that deal with the same story of the far future of humanity (). The first volume, "Plenum: The First Book of Deo", will be published end of March, 2021, with Untimely Books out of Colorado. I also produced and wrote a participatory opera based on this opus. I live and write in Quebec City, Canada.
Unique traits: An eclectic creative working outside media channels
Pinnacle - A One Act Opera Sci-fi A one act, participative opera based on my own science fiction opus currently under development, dealing with a young woman in a distant future whose body is undergoing a series of transformations that will result in her emergence as non-human, and the intolerance she encounters as a result. The main character is loosely based on the Greek mythic figure of Hermione. The opera under development will permit public participation during the staging. The first public presentation is scheduled for June 23, 2017.
