Born in 1947 (and yes, I have lived with the “Roswell Alien jokes” all my life), now that I’m writing sci-fi stories, maybe it’s true. Growing up, I would stand at the fence surrounding the local airport and dream about flying. At 14 I learned to sail, and my love of the sea was born. Graduating in 1965, I was looking forward to college, but for a graduation present Uncle Sam gave me a draft notice and free trip to Vietnam.
Though the time there was nothing I would like to repeat, coming home was much harder in 1969. Deciding to live my dream, living, and sailing the seas, I purchased a 33’ Blanchard Senior sloop, restored it and sailed it around the Northwest.
Moving to California to learn to fly, I spent most of my adult life and 22,000 hours flying heavy lift helicopters all over the world. After an incident in the helicopter and eighteen months of surgeries and rehab, I was forced to retire. So, I bought “Gracie”, a 48’ yawl and am currently living aboard and sailing the Northwest again.
All of my experiences haven’t taken me away from my 1947 alien origins, though. When not traveling on the waters, I’m traveling through space with my characters, exploring the universe and writing down their stories for your pleasure.

This is great, Lauren.
I, too, was born in 1947, in New Zealand.
I, too, grew up near the airport and dreamed of flying.
I, too, bought a sail boat as a child, and sailed her, and grew up on the water. We had to take a ferry to go to school, and I used to spend my time with the captain, learning about sailing.
I sat for my harbour pilot’s licence on a dare, when I was 14, and passed! I was allowed to pilot boats inside the harbour until I was 16, when I was granted the right to go out on the ocean, and pilot (mostly) holiday fishermen.
I married at 19, to a Canadian, who brought me home to ‘visit’ his family.
I have never left my 1947 alien origins, either.
