As long as I can remember, I was either listening to my father's stories, or making them up myself. As a child having to do chores, many dishes were broken, or dust bunnies passed over, because I lived in my own imaginary world. Things haven't changed much since then --I still breaks dishes, and am not much on housecleaning-- but instead of dreaming the stories, I write them down.

I've always been fascinated by science and how the mind works. How better to combine both, than to write science fiction? My main concern in writing stories is to explore human nature, and how science can affect people's perception of their own humanity. For the past few years, my interests have focused on genetic engineering, from Genetically Modified Organisms, to genetic warfare and cloning. My first novel, an SF Mystery entitled Metered Space, is a sardonic view at such issues.

What makes us human? Explore this concept with me by meeting a whole bunch of aliens that have no human features, but may surprise you by acting more human than the flesh-and-blood bodies.

I am the author of the SF mystery series, The Jack Meter Case Files, published by Zumaya Otherworlds. You can check them out on mywebsite at MD Benoit's World.

I currently live in Ottawa with my husband and my cat (who is really an alien in disguise). You can read my take on reality on my other blog as well, Life's Weirder than Fiction.
