Rajnar Vajra

Rajnar Vajra was born in the year that Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier, and something mysterious happened in Roswell, New Mexico. Coincidence? Perhaps. Aside from writing, he is a professional musician, songwriter, music teacher, a practitioner of Zen and other contemplative disciplines, and has been a jeweler, a painter, a recording engineer, and more. He follows developments in science, health, and understanding the mind’s nature with the closest attention. Not, perish the thought, partly to mine human progress for story ideas. He has appeared more than thirty times in the pages of Analog Science Fiction and Fact and has also appeared in the online stories at Tor.com, and in Absolute Magnitude. His novel DR. ALIEN has been published by WordFire Press, which now presents OPENING WONDERS.
