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.” (see the letter)

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).
