Well, what can be said about me. First I speak French, and learnt English quite late in my life (so if you ever find mistakes in my stories, please be understanding, and if you ever hear me speak, well... be lenient?).
I'm now a full-fledged-diplomed biologist (so if you ever read crazy things about physics in, for example, a Star Trek fan fiction, please understand), and I'm currently working on my master (gonna take a few months yet...). I'm available for free hiring at reviewing any biology-related fiction eheheh.
I used to travel a lot, but it seems like the master is going to ground me in Québec city for a while (sigh). I'm really becoming sessile, that's sad, I like the big veils of my veliger stage... The point is that if I disappear for a while, I'm not dead, I'm just sitting on some top of mountain without internet access :) I'm not so broke anymore (hey, I actually get paid to study now!), but I'm still rebuilding my gold stash under my pillow.
I liked the section the other authors included here about their favourite authors:
Guy Gavriel Kay. My personal favourite, and a fellow Canadian. I'd suggest the Fionavar Tapestry. The first book to ever make me cry. Needless to say the characters are lovely and you wished you could save them all...
Elizabeth Vonarburg. This one lives in Québec and writes in French now (she also does quite a bit of traduction from English to French), and I'm not sure her books are translated to English. Anyway, if you can put your hands on something she's written, take your chance. One of the rare women writing sci-fi/fantasy, and she's a master of it.
Terry Goodkind. Well, I'd suggest reading only the first three or four of his Sword of Truth series (after that, it takes him forever (like 400p.) to get to the point). But Wizards' first rule, Stone of Tears and Blood of the Fold just leave me wordless when trying to explain just how good they are.
