Name | Angela Blackwell |
Biography | I’m a biomedical engineer who used to work at the FDA and now I co-own a medical device consulting company with my husband, Gerald Blackwell (www.blackwelldevice.com). I write science fiction alone and with Gerald. We also write a review column for Bull Spec magazine called The Exploding Spaceship, reviewing books, conventions, and geeky travel locations. |
Previous Works | Many review columns for Bull Spec magazine (https://bullspec.com/category/columns/the-exploding-spaceship) and a couple of papers from graduate school. More recent engineering stuff is FDA guidance documents and as part of teams writing some ISO and ADA/ANSI standards on dental devices. Plus I write regulatory documents for clients. |

Occupation | biomedical engineer working as a regulatory consultant, review columnist and science fiction writer |
Story Ideas and Burning Questions | Trying to figure out if there is a market for our novel, a space adventure police procedural with a bit of humor. Have been told by a well known agent that it is very well written, but marketability in the US is not very clear (so we weren’t picked up obviously). Also trying to determine what we want to do with related stories which are like Peter Gunn in a futuristic New Orleans which has aliens. Our current stuff has future medical tech and materials tech, but have been thinking about doing some stories which feature the medical tech as a more central theme. Sort of exploring what things might be like if certain medical technology became available (not anything to do with the brain, as that’s been done repeatedly). |
