Never really know what to say in these autobiographical author’s profile bio’s but here goes.

I was born April, 8th, 1961 in Vancouver, B.C. but moved east to Ontario, Canada around age 4 or 5. Needless to say it wasn’t my choice but I’m not complaining. My father was transferred from church to church and so I went. In fact you might say I was born and raised in the Church. All-in-all it was a good move as I had health problems in B.C. that cleared up by the move. And the Church has proven very supportive of both my work and beliefs. Or at least very understanding.

I guess it was about the same time we first moved to Ontario that my interest in science fiction first peaked with the advent of Star Trek back when it first began. Even as a little kid the idea of Earth being at peace while exploring strange new worlds and alien civilizations appealed to me even before the moon landing in real life. And the appeal only grew stronger as time went by.

Not that Star Trek was my only science fiction interest. I watched most anything science fiction I could get my hands on. Lost in Space, Land of the Giants, Starlost, Battlestar Galactica, and Planet Of The Apes also played a big part in my S-F diet, not to mention any S-F movie I could get my hands on from Star Wars on down.

And it was through these examples I was introduced to the concept of matriarchal societies where women were in charge. However, they all struck me as shallow and unrealistic. They were portrayed as barbaric, violent, primitive, and practically illiterate in comparison to their patriarchal counterparts.

Given all the strong, confident, yet supportive female friends and family I had growing up, including later in life my former wife and late mother-in-law I knew there was something wrong–something lacking in the fictional, or popular concept of such matriarchal societies based more on some deep seated, unconscious fear than fact. Either that or hate.

In fact it was those positive examples of female virtue in my life that lead me into doing research into such real-life, actual matriarchal societies. From both the personal examples in my life alongside the  herstorical examples of such societies I could clearly see the superiority of such a society. Such a system just struck me as more natural, more in keeping with nature.

 Still does.

In fact one British herstorian once said… “If England only had more Queens and less Kings it would be better off today”.

And so I give you “The Many Worlds of Womankind”… the “Tammyite Matriarchate”… a highly cultured, intelligent, sophisticated, technologically advanced matriarchy surpassing the ancient patriarchates that went before it in both peace, prosperity, justice, and plenty ready to take its place alongside whatever and whoever else that might await it out amongst the stars.
