Editing was a snap and as my time in the Navy drew to a close I finished my first complete novel. Although it was never published, it served as the basis for the entire Galactic Alliance series.

The books I write can be read by all age-groups from the young to the very old.

Today, I'm a husband, father of two daughters, grandfather, and a science fiction writer. I currently work as a database administrator at a nuclear power plant in Northeastern Ohio. I am proud to have served 11 years in the ...more

February 17, 2019: Tax Tips for Writers

The last of the Peacekeeper series now stands at 25,490 words. It's been slow going over the past few weeks but at least I'm making some progress.

Every year around this time, I put out a short list of tax tips for writers. For the sake of tradition, I'll do so again:

Doug’s Quotes

“Language does not always have to wear a tie and lace-up shoes. The object of fiction isn't grammatical correctness but to make the reader welcome and then tell a story … to make him/her forget, whenever possible, that he/she is reading a story at all.”
― Stephen King - On Writing
