I’ve lived a fairly unremarkable life Leading up to this point, but I have high hope that my next hundred years or so, will be better. I’m a former State of Louisiana Employee. I retired after working there for thirty-five years. If only to myself, this piece of my life seems a bit noteworthy, because before I began working there in 1978, I must have had twenty or more jobs. Some of them lasted only one day. I never even considered writing until after my retirement in 2013. I figured that if I didn’t find something to occupy my time, other than eating, I could find myself too fat to get out of the house. I’m the third of five children. I was the first boy, and my first love was sports. I also loved science fiction. Mainly space adventures. That’s probably why my first two attempts in writing, dealt with those two subjects. I didn’t get married until I was almost thirty-two years old. Despite the fact that this marriage lasted a mere nine and a half years, my first wife and I had two great sons. I remarried in 2005 to a woman who brought a step-daughter into my life. This wife seems to know me as well or better than I do myself. She doesn’t possess the same appetite for writing that I have, but she does seem to know how much it means to me, and she allows me to slog through screw up after screw up. I don’t know where my writing will take me next. I suppose it will depend upon the success or failure of this work.
