Vanessa MacLaren-Wray writes over-researched SF/fantasy, analyzes electric power systems, invents messy science projects for kids, makes photographs and robots, and watches rocket launches (on site if possible!). She's a published poet with an SF novella seeking a home right now, and the fractious teens in the fantasy novel she's working on are in all kinds of trouble, but at least they have finally started talking to each other. As a known procrastinator, Doc MacWray tries not to hang out online. Fail. She can easily be tracked down at cometarytales.com, cometarytales (flickr), PixelGravityAstronomy (Facebook), and both PixelGravity and CometaryTales on Twitter.
