Sage Walker

I’ve done a lot of things. Some of them gave me degrees, so let’s get that out of the way. I’m a high school dropout because I went to college early. I have a B.S. in Zoology with a 70 hour minor in music and an M.D. from the University of Oklahoma.

I was born In Oklahoma. I lived in Cambridge and in Marshfield, Mass while I was interning and then worked Ob-Gyn for a while in the Cambridge Hospital. I practiced Emergency Medicine for seventeen years, in Oklahoma City and briefly in Bellingham, WA before I moved to Taos in 1974. My company set up the first 24 hour Emergency Physician coverage for Taos and Los Alamos and we covered the Santa Fe hospital. I saw my last paying patient in 1987 and went to Clarion West in 1988.

My significant other, Hank Messinger, and I moved to Albuquerque in 1992, so Hank could get another degree. We planned to be here a couple of years. We’re still here. New Mexico has a lot of science fiction writers in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, and that’s a good thing.
