You could describe me as a “fixer of broken things.” I’ve spent over thirty years as an electrical troubleshooter at a large university. Now, just a novice in the writing world. I’ve always been an avid reader. Short-story science fiction is my preference but I enjoy any well-written story. Occasionally I try to write something I think will be of interest. Something you want me to read? Let me know. I'll do my best to give you an honest opinion. Please read and comment. Tell me the truth. I've developed a very thick skin over the years. I can take it.
