Biographie de l'auteur

Miguel Lugo's not sure what he wants to be when he grows up.   So far he's become an eye surgeon specializing in corneal transplants; a competitive dominoes player and commentator for ESPN:Deportes and Univision with a best-seller book on the subject; a composer of progressive symphonic music with a recent album on the Cassini Mission to Saturn; and a life-long Science Fiction bookworm.  Please don't give him any further ideas.
