Claire McCague is a Canadian writer, scientist, musician, and science fiction fan. She works on sustainable energy systems, plays with words, and owns an excessive number of musical instruments. Her novels, The Rosetta Man and The Rosetta Mind (Edge Science Fiction and Fantasy Publishing), are first contact thrillers that begin when a pair of spike-covered, mostly harmless space visitors turn up in Wellington and want to climb the nearest tree. She's performed with dance bands for decades. As a theatre director and playwright, she's had productions on stages and in fields from the Fraser Common Farm in BC to the Manhattan Theatre Source.
