“There is a story in the book Night Shift, called 'The Mangler,' about a laundry machine that takes on a sort of malignant life. I worked in a laundry for about a year and a half after I got out of college. It was the only job I could find to support my wife and our first child.

It was this fellow's tie that did him in.”

And I couldn't let writing go, so I let physics go and became a science fan and a storyteller.”
