Enrico Fermi once famously asked, “Where are they?” (the ETs).
MIDDLE WATERS was created by an improbable sequence of events. After hosting at my government laboratory Dr. Harold E. Puthoff of Stanford Research Institute and CIA Remote Viewing fame, after multiple discussions with a Navy engineer/Mufon investigator, after meeting an investigative journalist/author with his tales of top secret aircraft in Kansas, after flying a plane that developed engine trouble and eventually crashed, after diving in troubled waters, and knowing what I know of the deep sea environment, the solution of Fermi’s Paradox became self-evident. I think I know where the ETs are, and so does Jason Parker.

Not all criticism is helpful, but most of it is. Pout if you must, but only briefly, then get to work improving your writing.

I straddle two worlds; the real world and the creative world. I work in the real world when I must, and in the creative world when I can.
