"Old enough to know better, still too young to care."
Been there, done that. I've got the tee-shirts, coffee mugs, and the scars to prove it.
"Write what you know" a wise sage once said.
With over twenty years of hard science, engineering, and computer experience behind me I look to the future. Now I sit in the shadow of Apollo writing my way out of the backwater I'm stuck in.
I write Science Fiction because my stories take place somewhere other than Earth, they involve time travel, or some green bugged-eyed creature arrives on the scene.
I write Fantasy because a Fairy flies into the room, a spell is cast, or the clock strikes Midnight and someone didn't make it home on time.
