When did you start writing? 1990

When and what and where did you first get published? 1992. "Gift," a short story in Strange Days

Why do you write Science Fiction and/or Fantasy?

Because that's what I am most drawn to, perhaps because I've loved reading science fiction/fantasy since I was a small child. My fiction is (almost always) science fiction or fantasy. My poetry is more varied, for instance, I've recently been writing quite a bit of science poetry.

Do you blog?

I write occasional short blog posts at Goodreads(goodreads.com/author/show/110220.Mary_Soon_Lee/blog). And I've had an online blog centered on my writing-related mail since 1995, which may be unearthed at marysoonlee.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/mb.html
