Charlie has been writing fiction since he retired a few years ago. He has sold occasionally, and won a few minor contests, but not hit the mainstream yet.
When he started he hadn't had an English class for over fifty years, and knew only business English, which is in no way akin to fiction.
He lives alone in Northern Ohio, in a rural area, his best friend a virtual rat named Oscar, which says a lot about the guy. At least he has gotten Oscar Rat into writing, the two working together. Not surprisingly, Oscar has sold more stories than poor Charlie. Maybe, with practice here, Charlie might pass up that rat?
His experiences are varied, including, U.S. Army, reserves and active duty, spanning '55 to '74, Police Officer, and about 25 yrs working with computers.
