Retired AF, born and raised in the state of Georgia. Longtime reader of various types of literature. Love reading and writing. I like seeing and learning from the styles of many different writers and genres to inform my own writing. Constructive criticism is not only welcomed but aggressively solicited. I appreciate mastery of the mechanics of storytelling such as world building; complexity of character; mood setting; and tone. I appreciate experts of the craft who breathe life into each and every character that is unique and distinctive. I strive to one day attain that level of mastery.
