I most enjoy well crafted sci-fi steeped in the real yet with fascinating character development and intricate plot lines. In my wanderings of things written, I far too often trip over the infantile with gross departures from reality that urge me to leave the piece to find something epic and better....  My hobbies include making chainmail armor and jewelry (40+ years now), reloading handgun ammunition ( 12+ years now), Dungeons & Dragons (almost 45 years now) and sundry other pursuits.  Currently working on a piece of sci-fi set in the mid 24th century which I hope to finish in 30 or so chapters before publication. Got my first copyright in video in 1993 making a how to make chainmail piece that I just recently added to Youtube for everyone to benefit from. A long time friend and co conspirator brought me here.
