The life and times of Dawson C. Walton
Born and raised in California in 1957 and spending most of my childhood in the desert I learned to appreciate the finer things in life thanks to my Mom
At the age of seventeen I joined the Army and did my basic and A.I.T in Fort Polk Louisiana then was shipped to Germany for what I thought was going to be the rest of my tour but that was not to be. I reenlisted for another three years and was then stationed in Arizona for a year where I married my first wife and in the Army’s wisdom I was sent back to Germany for the remainder of my time.
When I got out I moved to Minnesota. After trying numerous jobs I realized that working with my hands was what I wanted to do. So I entered the maintenance field. After divorcing my first wife I married my second wife of twenty four years now. I have two grown children John my son who is thirty one and Heather my daughter who is twenty two now.
I started writing in 1995 while working in a warehouse and I had this idea the guys liked it and told me that I should write that down so I picked up a spiral notebook and started writing maybe six months into it I got busy and it ended up in the closet.
Jump ahead a few years while cleaning out the closet getting ready to move I stumbled onto my many notebooks that I had written in years ago. As I started reading then again that was when I knew that I wanted to become a writer and put the stories that were in my head down on paper.
Currently working fulltime as a plumber for an owner of six apartment buildings I know that being a licensed boiler operator and certified residential maintenance technician has given me the opportunity to further learn the trade.
My first book Dreams: One Man’s Journey was the start of it all and led to the second (Dreams: Border Wars) and third (Dreams: Good vs. Evil) volumes of the trilogy.
My forth book Galaxy battle: Coming of a new age was actually released before good vs. evil.
I thank God for giving me the mind
