    A. D. Nance

    Originally from Oklahoma, I now reside on the Carolina coast. I wrote Leonardo Who? in 1993, then revised and published in 2013. In 1997 I was able to write an account of my 6+ years I lived in New York. In April 2014 I published Poems of a Common Man - a collection of poems and song over the decades. In May 2014, part one of an upward looking epic fantasy was published - My Stars and Other Highlights. The writing is complete. The artwork is in progress. Audio version part one is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FWeQT4z37c I hope to continue walking on beaches with my #1'star' Sally.

      Tiny particles fly by the view port. Tiny particles of dust, debris, organic matter, the material of a planet, from a world and time that is no more, deflect off, or stick to the port pane. Okron and all that surrounded it, has been blasted apart into uncountable particles, a mist of interstellar non-existence. This is what Eldon contemplated as his craft slowed to approach the Galaga Alpha, a huge ship, the size of an asteroid. Within its ten kilometer long mass, meet delegations of several star systems periodically to discuss interstellar issues. Built with the cooperation of civilizations of 3 stars, it is in constant active service of the Alpha sector of the galaxy for the foreseeable future. This time it left its agenda for the vicinity of Okron because of the disaster. Eldon was a member of the Singsord delegation on Galaga Alpha. His former excitement and need for trekking through the stars was now replaced by trepidation, uncertainty and a need to just perform his duty.
