Marc Ashton I enjoy stories filled with adventure, intrigue, and well-drawn characters. While I prefer fiction, I know that true stories, such as my father's and mine, must be told using the same techniques as fiction. As a reader and a writer, I appreciate others' tales and use them as models for my own work.
