My journey with Science Fiction began early. I came of age during the Space Race, but when, on September 12, 1962, JFK said, "We choose to go to the moon," I was already en route. I had launched a rocket to the moon with Rick Brant in John Blaine's "The Rocket's Shadow." I had been to Mars with Heinlein's "Red Planet" and "Podkayne of Mars," had been a "Space Cadet," and trekked across the moon with Kip and the Mother Thing in "Have Space Suit, Will Travel." Edgar Rice Burroughs' Barzoom Epics with John Carter and the “Princess of Mars” likewise primed my imagination. I hope to live long enough to, like "The Man Who Sold the Moon," Delos D. Harriman, die on the moon. Note to Elon: Give me a call, will ya! By the time “Star Wars” captured the public imagination in 1977, I had already seen it 10,000 times, in books and my imagination. I have aspired to such fantastic and futuristic adventures for as long as I can remember. But, if I can't live them, I wanted to write them. So, finally, in 2013, I found the magic combination of time and motivation to begin writing the kinds of stories I love to read. The first story started as a fantasy written solely for my private amusement. Still, even so, some of my friends were very supportive, found the story entertaining, and encouraged me to publish it. So, a few revisions later, the tale 'Chromosome Quest' made its debut online. Naturally, fans demanded a sequel, so I followed with 'Chromosome Conspiracy.' Now, the third episode in the adventure, 'Chromosome Warrior,' is refreshed and updated. This last has been the most fun to write, felt the most imaginative, and is the one I am most proud of.
