I was born in a small town in Western New York, being the youngest of seven kids. I was a typical kid growing up and now find it ironic that I enjoy writing so much as relaxation when I hated English in school and couldn't wait for it to be over. I mostly write Sci-Fi stuff as that is where I am most comfortable. I started writing what I called a Sci-Fi novel over ten years ago, but could never just get the right drive to actually write it. Just before COVID struck, I sat down and delete almost all of the 5 pages I had and started over. That night I wrote thirty-six pages before finally going to bed. I never figured I would ever write romance or even poetry, but in the short story part I published, I actually found it pretty easy. The poetry ... not so much. I struggled with it. But as my wife reminded me, if you set your mind to it, it can happen. I would like to give a special shout-out to my sister Gloria Fifield, who helps me with editing. You can also find her books here on Smashwords as well.
