So I pop a book on tape into the truck’s cassette player. It’s Koontz’s “Fear Nothing”. It starts out with a guy waiting for his Father to die of cancer and then the Father dies and then the body is stolen. Dad had a closed casket. I never saw the body. Was it in there? […]

Passing of my Father
In the Duke’s Left Eye, I use a story that my Father told me as bedtime story when I was very small. Dad took the old Phillip of Macedonia story about the archer and made it suitable for a small boy. I took the basic premise from Dad’s story and wrote the story that is […]

I started reading Science Fiction in the 1950s. I started Writing SF in the 1960s. Then, I had a life.
Now I am retired, raising chickens and keeping bees. I am still an avid reader and I have sold about 70 stories in the last
20 years.
I have been collecting information about writing Science Fiction for many years now. Social media has replaced the Blog and
large dedicated websites, so the pages here are mostly static. I update them from time to time.
Enjoy!
