        His real name is Jackie Derrida, BTW. True story. He changed it for obvious reasons.

            Favorite author? I like quite a few, so I don't think I can pick just one.

            Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Dennis Lehane, F Paul Wilson, Philip José Farmer, Roger Zelazny, George RR Martin, Walter Jon Williams, David Drake (more for his military scifi than his fantasy), John Le Carré (old George Smiley books, haven't read his more recent efforts).

            I could go on, but I'll stop here.

                          Yes, and contributed.

                          Damn! I didn't know that Fred Saberhagen passed on 6/29/07! A belated RIP.
