Why I write … Well, I always have, making endless ‘to do’ lists, writing journals to records high, and low, points of travels, and shared genealogy records. You can’t really do those things and not write, or be an engineer in the Navy and not draft numerous messages, meeting briefs, et cetera. Beside the technical slant from Navy days, I acquired along the way a style which didn’t match up with novels. So as a member of the RWG I found my style needed changes, big changes. But I continued to write, and improve. My favorite authors include Tom Clancy, James Patterson, and Michael and Jeff Shaara. That tells you I like a mix of technical, historical adventure. So with those greats as inspiration, I have a way to go to find my eventual style. Oh, and I also write because I want to share what the voices tell me!
