…I read lots of comic books, the Bible, all of Ray Bradbury’s works, Isaac Asimov’s and Robert Heinlein's stuff too. I excelled in sciences in school. Then, moving into teen years I began graduating off SciFi and gravitating to James Michener's fiction, reading of all his books before college, where I discovered classics like Anthem, Gone With the Wind, Crime and Punishment, The Iliad and the Odyssey and more. Post baccalaureate favorites lead at that time to everything by John Saul, Steven King and eventually Jean Auel, then next a growing fascination and penchant for books detailing ancient Greek history, the history of medicine and Egyptology too. But by far, I was inspired to write at a very early age when my parents let me stay up with them to watch the Scifi thriller “The Day The Earth Stood Still” on Black & White TV when I was about seven years old. After that I dreamed of writing a science fiction space travelling adventure book for years, though my current thrust is based on events occurring in the summer of 1965 when I kept a diary based on the relationship some childhood friends and I cultivated with a poor homeless vagrant soul, now leading to my penning in process of The Legend of the Game Preserve Bridge Road.
