Blair Wylie is a retired Canadian oil and gas engineer and manager. He worked thirty-five years in several interesting places, including the Canadian Arctic, Western Siberia, the North Sea, Newfoundland, and Trinidad and Tobago. In his second career as a writer, he strives to entertain a thinking person. He prefers to stay in the plausible world with respect to science and character studies. His stories place people in awkward situations, and they discover hidden strengths. He hopes readers will come away feeling better about themselves, and about the future in general.
