He seems at peace, saying that he and Samantha talk nightly in their dreams. They are ready for Samantha to leave, they are not afraid.

About the author

I was born in Levelland, Texas, moved to Boulder, Colorado and joined the US Nuclear Submarine force at 17.

After 9 years cruising the oceans, I returned to Colorado and eventually became a software developer.

I've always loved creating something from my imagination. In 2006 I wrote a screenplay, 'Genome'. After years of 'no thanks' or no response I decided to adapt it to a novel and try ePub.

I've since written the first book of a humorous SciFi series, 'Arlo and Jake Enlist' which is also published. I'm working more books in that series as well as stories for magazines.

My interests include playing PC RTS and FPS games like Quake, Serious Sam, Duke Nukem, Command and Conquer. Also music: Chet Atkins, Ventures, Bach, Mozart, Boogie piano.

I love reading, writing out on my patio, preferably with a glass of Sweet Rodeo Red and a plate of nachoes.
