About Me

I've done some writing, editing and painting in the science fiction genre. Among other things, I've edited a collection of stories by Phil Nowlan, the creator of Buck Rogers, and found the lost ending to the notorius classic, "The Eye of Argon." The complete story, with my intro, is now in print.
