About the author.

Canadian author G.W. Darcie studied at the universities of Waterloo and Windsor before enjoying a long career as a clinical psychologist and couples therapist. He has always been fascinated by people, science and technology, a mix that is reflected in his heartfelt speculative fiction. Former private pilot and scuba diver, he’s still drawn to sky and water. 

In 2022, he was awarded First Place, New Voices: General and Literary Fiction (League of Utah Writers), for his first short story, Machine. It is available here.

Always ahead of the curve, he was biracial long before Barack Obama made it popular. Some have argued that he was one of Barack’s early inspirations, but evidence for this is scant, and entirely fabricated. He is married and lives in St. Catharines, Ontario, by a Great Lake, not too far from Niagara Falls.

“Speculative fiction (which included sci-fi, fantasy, and any other “what if …?” genre) excels at opening the minds of readers to new possibilities and new perspectives. It enables us to catch a glimpse of the world through other eyes, see things from someone else’s point of view. In other words, it nourishes tolerance. In these divisive days, this role seems more important than ever. These stories have always used alternate worlds/perspectives as a way of holding a mirror up to ourselves to stimulate personal growth. My goal is to contribute in some small way.”
