Tower of Babel

Steve Minas, Stanford linguistics professor, has made his mark. Now he is Steve Minas, translator for aliens from outer space, and broker for the best deal that humanity has ever seen. Until he learns that deal comes with a high price.

I grew up in New York, the child of a Greek immigrant father and an American-born mother. I've lived all my adult life in California. I'm one of nine children. I graduated from Stanford with a degree in psychology, but also took a number of computer courses both while at Stanford and also afterward from UC Berkeley extension and UC Irvine extension, and my work has been various jobs in the computer field: computer operations, technical support, software engineering, and software quality assurance. Outside of my work, I have been active in my Quaker meeting in various roles (recording clerk, Ministry and Oversight committee member, Finance Committee member, First Day School, leading a Quran study, etc.). I have been married for twenty-eight years to Joel Sax. We have no children, but are abundantly blessed with nephews and nieces.
