“"I'm still fascinated by medicine," says Dr Alison Sinclair of Victoria, BC, traces of the Scottish burr from her childhood in Edinburgh creeping in. "But it was obviously going to be a struggle to keep up my interest in writing as a practising physician."

The writing won out. A year after qualifying as a doctor, Dr Sinclair traded in her white coat for a word processor and never looked back. Five years later she's the author of four published science fiction novels, one of which has been nominated for England's prestigious Arthur C Clarke Award. Medicine remains an important part of her life and her fiction. "There is still plenty to speculate about in medicine," says the pixieish Dr Sinclair, "and there is the humanistic side of things. People will be people, and there will always be ethical debates."
