A: Because I am a member of the Zull race trying to wipe out humanity. Just kidding. I have yet to reveal my face because I am currently engaged in work where it would not be beneficial to have my face associated with sci-fi novels that (a) involve certain philosophies, ideologies, and/or mature content that is not popular with everyone and (b) not kid-friendly, as I do much volunteer work involving children and am teaching in public schools.
So it is very possible that the novels I write may interfere with my work life and other goals. At a time that I deem that it will be okay to show my face, I will.
