About Me
I live in the great white north, a land so vast it does indeed seem like another world at times. I retired eighteen years ago and started writing the day after. Iv'e always wanted to write a novel so I put it at the top of my bucket list, a list that was very small anyway. As I just turned 75, becoming a rock star, or flying to the moon seems like a long shot. I write in the winter (six months)and play in the summer, as it should be.
Type of Writer
I write hard science fiction laced with military thriller and maybe a little supernatural in the mix.
Writing Style
I don't really know. Perhaps you can tell me. I'm listening.
