I'm a native Floridian, retired from the US Army, I started writing in the army, mostly training and tech manuals. Boring stuff, but it whetted my interest in writing. I've written sci-fi, thrillers, mysteries, humor, fantasies, horror, and more. I'm now living in NC. While in the army, I served in air defense artillery, military intelligence, and psychological operations. I also worked in Federal Civil Service as a quality assurance specialist, ammunition surveillance. I love writing, reading, most kinds of music, and animals--especially dogs.

I’m pregnant. It was Benny Lorenzo, assistant

April stopped writing. Her eyes stung and tears were rolling down her cheeks. No--she could not do it. And deep inside, she knew from the beginning that she could not do it. What had
