Ken Liu, and not just because he wrote the foreword for my first book.
Sorry, I am not familiar with Ken Liu. What did he write?

He's probably most famous for his short story Paper Menagerie, which won the Hugo, Nebula and World Science Fiction awards. He's written the 4-book epic Dandelion Dynasty series, has a few short story collections including one in the Star Wars universe, and a few other books, almost all very unique in their approach. He also translated the first and third books of the Three Body Problem trilogy and has a bunch of short films and TV series based on his stories. He's one of the few sci-fi authors that treats Bitcoin properly.

Wow, I guess I have been out of touch with the awards scene for too many years. I will have to look them up again, soonest. There must be I missed a whole lot of decent books. I got bummed out by the St. George Floyd peaceful gatherings that were in the area of Uncle Hugo’s SF Bookstore when it curiously caught fire and all those books went up in cinders. Yep, really bummed.

Someone opened back up Christianity and renamed it to spirituality. I just learned you founded it originally. I'm curious why you decided not to keep it up.
