A reader asked me to describe my writing style. Well, I spent 40 years working with nuclear weapons, nuclear power plants, and in nuclear research. That is the world that I know. I believe that a writer should write what he knows. A first hand account of the trials of a cancer patient written by a cancer survivor is always more real, more gripping. Dr. Robin Cook writes medical thrillers. John Grisham writes law thrillers. Clive Cussler writes sunken treasure stories.
For my stories, I take real events connected to a nuclear industry from the news and base a story around the true events. Of course, none of the events in my books are factual. The cover ups are too complete. I also incorporate some real events that have no nuclear connections to help tell the story. I find that there is usually more to a news story than is told. As part of the irony that I try to create, I present a fiction about the possible extended real news story to help me present my story. Last, I incorporate scenes, situations, and places from my life into the books. The book I'm a Marine was based, in part, on my granddaughter who was a Marine Aviation Firefighter when I was writing the book. Part of the story is also a reflection of my time as a technician in the Army Nuclear Weapon Program stationed at Fort Sill, OK.
Each of my books is based on some element of truth and a back filled with a lot of pure story telling.
