Charlie has been writing for 18 years and sold a few stories for real money. He has worked with computers for 25yrs, US Army for 17yrs, Police Officer, factory work and, before that, small jobs. He is 79, his best friend a virtual rat named Oscar, also a writer. Both believe in honest dialogue, liberally sprinkled with realistic language if deemed appropriate. Charlie believes in honest critiques, rather than inflated ratings. He's also big enough and mean enough not to quake at giving the same type of reviews. He-he.
