January 2008


I received a BA in History from the University of Houston. I have been a teacher of life skills and work skills to special needs students, adjudicated youth, and the visually impaired as well as College English. I am a published author and have been a writers coach.

I am a voracious reader of anything from historical fiction to cosmology to the backs of cereal boxes. My interests include ancient and Dark Age history, the Civil War and the American West, Taoist and Buddhist philosophy, and classic movies. I am also a certified teacher of Tai Chi Chuan. In my life I have been a drifter, a beach bum, a library page, a book store clerk, a teacher and a construction worker. Presently, I am a happy husband and proud father of a son and two cats.

Infinite Contemplation

The speed of light is not the fastest speed. No matter how far it travels, no matter how long it travels, a particle traveling at the speed of light will always find that the empty darkness lays waiting for it.

They told me, when I was young, that you just can’t picture or even think about ‘infinity.’ I can’t picture forever.

“Merciful Father.... I have squandered my days with plans of many things.
This was not among them. But at this moment, I beg only, to live the next few minutes well.
For all we ought to have thought and have not thought... All we ought to have said and have not said. All we ought to have done and have not done. I pray thee, God for forgiveness.”

message 2: by Tony

Tony Brooks Hi Stephen, still hoping you will venture into the richness of Australia's past - just for a change of location. 'Incident at Honey Creek' sounds riveting. How about a bargain - you order 'Halfway Human' from xynobooks, and I will give your book a try. Thelines are open.


message 1: by Tony

Tony Brooks Hi Stephen, Your life experiences seem the ultimate in a writer's essentials. You write historical fiction based in the U.S., mine is based in Australia and its surrounds. Recommend me one of yours to read and I will direct you to Halfway Human on Amazon.
Let's swap crit's

Tony Brooks
