My academic background is in Biochemistry, Mathematics, and Computer Science, and after a long career in publishing, teaching, and software engineering, I've now retired to the South of Spain with my wife and a rather ancient cat, where I can indulge my passion for writing, both fiction and non-fiction.
My particular interests include science and philosophy, and I have recently completed a book which deals with the irrationality of alternative medicine theories, food Woo, and religion. It's called Leaving the Land of Woo and is due out in October 2009.
I write fiction under the name of John Cuando.
