From The BBC-
Isaac Asimov, Arthur C Clarke, Ray Bradbury: these were the young Joanna Ray's literary heroes.
They fired her imagination, and prompted her to write her own tale of an undiscovered planet while still in her teens.
Her fascination with science first led her to a career in microbiology, but by her late twenties she was ordained as an Anglican priest.
For her faith and science - and even science fiction - are all compatible.
The now Reverend Joanna Z Ray is used to the sharp intake of breath which tends to follow the revelation that she writes sci-fi novels.
Her latest: "One of the Good Guys" is the fourth in her Sikharan sequence, following alien warriors who are on the side of Earth in the seemingly mandatory galactic space war.
