Nothing, my life has had nothing that would constitute a mystery. The war parts could work for an action-adventure story, but as for large unanswered plot points? Not applicable, and maybe thats for the better! What about you, dear reader?

The worlds of David Eddings Belgarion! I would love to go there and learn magic!

My biggest hurdle, aside from my brain damage, is my family. My wife was injured in an accident which has thrown off our normal schedules - making dealing with our autistic son a bit more difficult. I deal with it by being flexible with my schedule.

I’m a member of the TRMN. It’s a fan club for the Honor Harrington Universe by David Weber, and they do contests for their members all the time. There is a reading contest going on recently, and we get bonus points for reading authors who are on the TRMN Author List. And, if those authors will be at the 2017 Honor Con, we get even more points! So, I’ll be reading books by Chris Kennedy, Marko Kloos and David Weber before I get back to Richard Fox’s Ember Wars stories.

Interesting question, since there is no romantic couples of note in my own novels. So in other novels? Hmm, I would say Travis Coates and Old Yeller from the novel OLD YELLER. The relationship between a boy and his dog as they go on the odyssey of youth is touching. A very poignant expression of non-romantic love.

A series of nagging "What If" questions from the Human Legion Series by Tim C. Taylor. When I asked him to write them for me, he counter proposed that I write them instead. The rest, as they say, is history.

It started as writing therapy for me, so I could process what happened in Iraq. It became something more over time and I'm grateful for it.

I'm currently finishing a short story for the Tickety Boo Press Ltd 'Roswell Anthology' and 35% into Operation Breakout of the Sleeping Legion series.

Sharing the stories with others, so they're more real and I'm more normal! :)

I just keep writing, knowing I can go back and fill out wherever the story requires it. This hasn't been a big issue because I outline the heck out of things.
