Hello, and welcome to my profile. Now that I have actually published a work, Maybe some of you folks would like to know a little more about me.

I am a, -seasoned- gentleman, and I reside just outside of St. Louis, Missouri, USA. THE best place to live on the planet! IMHO

I have three children, two boys and a girl. One is out of the house, the other is close. My daughter just graduated high school.

I enjoy fishing, and hunting. I like being out in the woods, so peaceful and quiet, and beautiful...I also like all things mechanical, guns, cars, planes, and trains. I like going to the movies, and the stories they tell. Which probably what led me here. I often come out of the theater wondering, what happens AFTER the movie? What were they doing before? How does the story continue? What if they had made this choice, or that? I have always had a rather active imagination too.

I've always had a bit of an artistic streak in me too. I drew when I was younger, and I have been thinking of trying to take it up once more. I have also painted things for my other passion, computer simulators. I have published things for Microsoft Train Simulator. I guess the writing feeds this artistic streak as well.

My primary fandom is How to Train Your Dragon. I can identify with Hiccup. Dorky, quirky, but coming up with all those wonderful ideas and inventions. His mind always working. I also love flying. Ahh, to fly on the back of a Dragon...

I was introduced to Fan Fiction a couple of years ago by my daughter. She is heavily into Anime, which I also enjoy. I was hooked as I read all the re-imagining if the original stories.

Thanks for visiting. I'm not sure how many more stories I have, but we'll see...

Peace...

4/4/2017 - Hey everyone! Just a short update here...

It's almost been a year since I finished The Dragon Master and the Snow Queen. And in that year much has happened. I managed to get a couple of one-shots out for Dragons: Race to the Edge. Check them out if you have a few moments. I'm pretty proud of them.

In the time since, I'm afraid to admit I haven't done a lot of writing...Read...Pretty much none...I have been pursuing other interests. I have managed to come up with a few ideas though. One being a full-on fiction story of my own. Nothing completely fleshed out yet, but I think I will start on that pretty soon.

I bought myself a new(er) Jeep that I LOVE! Of course, I now have a car payment, and all the other associated bills, but I told myself I would not regret my decision. If I am not stuck in the house this summer, I plan to take it out trail riding, and generally getting it dirty. Wish me luck!!!

I have hurt myself at work a couple of times in the last three months. Nothing serious, just an old man trying to do a young mans' job. I should maybe try to get another, but...EH, I'll burn that bridge when I get there...

I built myself a new computer that ROCKS! It pretty much handles anything I can throw at it, then asks for seconds. I'm liking it very much, and it wasn't nearly as expensive as I thought it might be once I started the research.

So, -What's the point of this, you ask? Well, it seems that The Dragon Master and the Snow Queen will soon reach 100,000 views! That's one hundred thousand!!! One hundred thousand people have come by and at least looked at my story. It still blows my mind when I check and there's not a week that passes with at least one day over one hundred. You people are AWESOME! And as such, I'm planning to release...Something tying into that story in celebration...I don't have anything just yet, -a few ideas...but I have taken up the keyboard and have started writing.

As of RIGHT NOW, I'm working on a story for How to Train Your Dragon, But I will break off to start pursuing this. I hope you all like it.
