A college degree plus a 20 year military career and 23 more years at the Pentagon plus living in Europe and the Far East for 11 years has given me plenty of stories to tell - and I'm doing that in my novels and stories... I was recently told I needed to elaborate on this Bio to tell more about myself – I gave it some thought but how many times can I say, “…I have done it all" (or that part I care about anyway) and only regret one event from my past. As far as my my writing goes – I often thought if I didn’t write what was going on in my head no one would ever know this person and ‘things’ I contributed in this life - both good and bad. That probable is not a bad thing. I have always had a dry humor so that part of me still lives in my words and, I feel, much is missed in my stories as folks have a tendency to skip or scan words. If you do that with my written words you miss lots and leave the meat on the table. I regret I can not see the future but am content my being may somehow affect small parts of your future.
Birth Place: Haskill, AR
Accomplishments: A son - Three published novels - a Cook Book - a book of short stories, a "primer" for military vets to help them toward rightful C&P - a Bronze Star - thousands of "At-A-Boys" and now peace of mind in retirement.

Short Stories
Have posted 30 short stories and three novels that noone reads. All are "good" stories as I am not notorious or well known outside a small circle of friends so... I write only for myself now. The world is missing out not reading my works, but that is not my problem. I have learned I can write on most any subject. I use to think I needed be some kind of ‘expert’ on a subject to write about it but that is not the case. To understand those words you maybe need to read some or all the short stories, and articles posted here. What the hell… give it a try and enjoy the smiles or tingles your eyes see in my words.
