I have been an Anime & SciFi fan for since the 1980's - Macross, Gundam & Naruto are some of my all time favorites. As you can see I am following many stories and authors, so much great materials out there.

UPDATE (02JUN2018): I have published two stories, the most recent one is actually the very first I wrote in December 2016 but worked through over the years to be comfortable with presenting.

UPDATE (13DEC2018): Well, I pushed a new piece that has been rattling around for the last year or so. With the help and support of some of my fellow writers tallman0029, ponchonijax3, darkwin83 and a few others whom I can't recall at the moment. "A Helping Hand" just went up and I really hope everyone likes it.

UPDATE (13FEB2019): I am sorry to report that chapter 3 of my current story, A helping hand is going to be delayed a little but, the class I am taking is consuming some time and I started teaching for the spring. So my time with writing is being consumed, I have ~half of it done but need to make some changes.

UPDATE (15MAY2019): Again, I apologize for the inconsistent updates, but such is life. It sounds like everyone is really enjoying the story so far and that's awesome, hopefully I can keep that going. Now that I am done teaching until fall, hopefully I can devote more time and crank out a few more chapters, but I won't make promises. One thing I will say, I won't just abandon the story. It kill me when others do that for whatever reasons it happens, but I will not do it intentionally. Anyway, I look forward to continuing and seeing where things go from here.

UPDATE (23JUN2019): Well, I think this update is nearly a 30 day rotation between updates. I was surprised and humbled when both my favorites and follows went over 100 for A Helping Hand. Thank you all.

UPDATE (08SEP2019): This was not a 30-day rotation for updates, sorry. On another note, I might release a few of my one-shot random ideas.

UPDATE (12JUN2020): Well now that school is done. I plan on trying to getting back to writing and hopefully be able to put out a few chapters.

UPDATE (10JUL2020): I updated "A Helping Hand," it was a short chapter, but I wanted to get something out. I appreciate those of you who have stuck with the story. I am going to try to update more frequently - no promises.

UPDATE (20DEC2020): I apologize to anyone who saw the update alert that probably just blew through. It was a pretty quick fix and I just put the revised version up. Leave me a review or comment. I hope everyone is doing well and here's to 2021 being better.

UPDATE (07APR2021): Well it's a bit late, but happy 2021 everyone - hopefully it's treating you better then 2020. I just posted my first update of the new year. No, I am not abandoning the story. Sorry for the delay, but hopefully the update makes up for it.

On another note, if you would like to read an original piece I wrote summer 2018 for a class, check out fictionpress and my same pen-name.

//// OTHER STUFF \\\\

I agree with NaruHina when he said the following.

I ABSOLUTELY HATE IT WHEN SOMEONE WRITES A FIC WITH THE DRAMA, ANGST, TRAGEDY OR HURT\COMFORT TAG AND NOT FINISH IT. I BELIEVE THAT IF SOMEONE WRITES THESE FIC’S THEY SHOULD BE FULLY COMMITTED TO IT. THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THEN READING AN EMOTIONALLY STORY THAT MAKES YOU WANT TO RIP YOUR HEART OUT AND BEING LEFT HANGING.

Hat tip to Akuma Uzumaki, NaruHina for the bold lines above.
