Imagination, wonder, thought, surprise, drama, adventure, and intrigue. I am an avid reader of fiction, all genre and I attempt to write in the many genres of fiction. All but 3 of the stories I have here on Medium are fiction tales.
I have a series of Standalone stories that take place in my fictional Galaxy, The Grand Taosan Galactic Empire. The protagonist of these tales is Mr. Mason and he has all kinds of adventures on many different and exciting worlds. Check them out at the links below.
At the bottom of the story above are links to all the previous stories.
I am a co-creator of Judas Crossing, a supplemental adventure to the Aces & Eights, Table Top Role Playing Game.

I have stories published in the Online publications; Illumination, The Bad Influence, Invisible Pillar, The Friday Fix, The Purple Pen, Fantasy Shorts, and The Short Place.
I grew up in an era and culture that spurred the imagination. My childhood friends, hiking the Wasatch Front, BB gun wars, Dungeons and Dragons, and other games. Vietnam, Kennedy, Nixon, Landing on the Moon, Star Trek, Star Wars, and a little bit of the ADHD, helped grow my imagination. My life traveling the world and being a part of teams that had folks from all walks of life in the military just built upon that foundation.
In the U.S. Army, I served on Active Duty for 20 Years. I worked hard and played hard, did more before 6 AM than most people did all day, I am Paratrooper “Being All I Can Be” and a Platoon Sergeant in “An Army of One”.
Two divorces, 3 marriages, 2 dogs, 3 cats, and 6 wonderful beasts, I mean children, later, my imagination is brimming with ideas that belong on pages for people to enjoy! Here you go!
