Author: BJ Deming

I am a layperson, retired from medical transcription after twenty-five years and enjoying a new chance to explore earth science thanks to the Internet and (finally) some free time. I have been blogging here for years, tweeting at Twitter.com/@bjdeming, have some eBooks out, and hope to make this science writing gig full-time in 2021. This recent writing update sums up my writing biography up to now: https://flighttowonder.com/2021/03/08/writing-update-20/ LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/b-j-deming-0b272894
