An author? ME??? I don't think so. I just had something in my head that that was screaming to get out. I like telling stories and sometimes they make it out of my head and on to my computer. Sometimes they will come out of someone else's computer, like with "A Narrow Escape". I explained the Idea to Gilly, she gave it substance, and I added an embellishment or two.

I am hopeful that I can make a real contribution here, other than being the local cabana boy!

I have been a fan of the Thunderbirds for as long as I can remember, but never did I enjoy them so much as the day my Uncle Tom strolled out of the dining room after a holiday dinner, looked at the TV as I was watching the Thunderbirds, and uttered these endearing words..."Whattya watchin' that Crap for?"

I did what I normally did when Uncle Tom talked like that, I smiled, rolled my eyes, and went back to doing what I was doing, ignoring everyone around me and watching my show. "This is good stuff", I replied. "Good stuff??" he asked. "CRAP!"

He's probably rolling over in his grave. I can still hear him when I watch it..."CRAP!"

To each his own, I say. He taught me that, my Uncle did.

Now I'm writing stories about that "CRAP," and loving every minute of it. I hope you enjoy them.
