Science Fiction
For me, science fiction started with Verne and the Nautilus during elementary school. A small-town library brought me into the modern era with a large shelf of juveniles, including Heinlein, who led me to the good stuff.I
started writing SF in high school for teachers well ahead of their time, but I
didn’t see my name in glossy print until the cadet magazine at the U.S. Air
Force Academy.
After graduation, I wrote a novel while stationed overseas.
My best rejection slip said, “I’d buy it if I’d ever heard of you.”
The early ‘70s saw a flurry of success, but to support my family, I took a job writing about computers and let my fiction languish. After 15 years working at Digital Equipment Corporation, I caught a tsunami of downsizing that left me standing on the shore of a new life. With the support and financial wizardry of my wife Jeanne, I tackled fiction again. (In fact, together we wrote two mainstream novels, which haven’t sold yet).
So, please, dip into my short stories and my novels, then let me know what you think.
