S.A. has been “A life-long Sci-Fi nut!” I got started on his path by my older brother Carlton. I am 8 years his junior, and just wanted to fit in. By just walking into his room uninvited was usually resulted in an adventure in pain. But on a rare occasion when I snuck in I saw on his b/w TV a man with pointed ears. I bravely asked, “Who is that?” He turned around in his chair both upset and thrilled.

He was upset I once again forgot to knock on his door. This time I avoided the mandatory brother butt kicking by actually being interested in something he loved. He took the time to explain what he was watching and what is was about. Then he gave me news I just could not believe, it was on every night at 7pm. I was hooked. As you have probably figured out by now it was Star Trek and my voyage to where no man has gone before was just beginning.

This one show took me on a journey I have yet to get off of. I have done my 5 year mission and signed on for a lifetime. I have been introduced to many more shows by my family. My mother called me to her room one night in 1977 and said to me, “S.A. you’ve got to see this curly haired man with jelly babies!” I was like, “Mom, what in the world are you talking about?” That was my journey into the world of Doctor Who!

Being the younger of two children and also being so much younger than my brother it gave me the opportunity to be the only child in the house. It also gave me many years of alone time. Having sci-fi filled that void and I thank him for introducing me to it.

Next to help me was my dad, Charles (Joe) the quiet one. I would go down and sit with him, in the kitchen, while he made dinner every night. Yes my dad did cook! He was a short order chef in college and my mother dared not go into his kitchen. I soon realized that you can learn a lot while watching sci-fi not only did he get me hooked on my next show he also taught me how to cook! But what in the world would a man who lived and died American Football and had no time for Baseball love so much? The answer a little known sci-fi show called Space 1999! It was a short lived, but awesome, sci-fi show that just needed a real budget to be great.

With all that great sci-fi I wonder why I picked that topic to write about. I will always love the “Doctor” more than life on Earth. But the show that got me the most was Babylon 5! This series was kicked around on TV for time slots but was so good! Just one thing pay attention carefully because things you find out in year one you don’t get the answer to until year four and I love that. I have many many others I have yet to name.

To all those great writers I thank you! All of you have molded me into the sci-fi nut I am today! One rule they taught me that I make sure is in all my books is just when you think you are going one way I make sure you realize that boy was I wrong. He made me think I was going this way but he actually to me that way. To me that is the best feeling of all! Never ever let someone figure you out.

Sci-Fi allows me to take you to places that will blow your mind. I was always taught to stretch your imagination make it your own. Mine is now being shared with you. Being a writer allows me to take my readers on a wonderful journey to places never before seen or imagined I hope you jump on and enjoy the ride!!!!
