The Anachronist

I'm John Skylar, PhD-to-be, a virologist and science fiction writer. This place is a jot pad for all manner of things related to any and all of my publications in fiction and/or fact.

That was sufficiently vague, don't you think?

Dr. John Skylar, who has a (somewhat disused) blog over on blogger, is a character I created to represent my science fiction as if it were the fact of a multiverse far richer than the world we know.

I am also the founder of an organization called Better Worlds.
