I was born in East Texas a long time ago and grew up with a sister and a brother. Upon completing high school, I joined the U.S. Air Force and served three years as a jungle survival instructor in Panama. Following my military service, I enrolled in Stephen F. Austin State University and got married. After getting my degree in biology and chemistry, we moved to Houston where our only child, a son, was born.During the early years of my career, I wrote numerous technical articles and reports but no fiction until recently. Upon retirement, I became interested in writing science fiction. My first sci-fi novel, The Dar Lumbre Chronicles, was published in 2018. It took me about two years to write The Alamogordo Connection. At that rate, you can look for the third one, The Photosynthesis Gene in 2022.My wife of 53 years died of cancer in 2014, leaving me the patriarch of a small family-a son, a daughter-in-law, three grandchildren, and two great grandchildren. My family is my pride and joy.I have been a member of Sugar Land Baptist Church for over 20 years and have led Bible study classes throughout that time.
