Mainly military history, modern/nuclear strategy, but with constant incursions into Twain, Shakespeare, Conan Doyle, astronomy, American West, aviation, Alaska, U.S. and world history.

Born on D-Day (Among the first wave of the Baby Boomers to hit the big six-zero.) I have lived in Anchorage, Alaska for 34 years, making me a "sourdough." (Soured on Alaska and not enough dough to get out.) Air Force/Navy veteran. I am in the publishing business with a journalism/wire service background. Been a book lover since before I could talk (Thanks Mom & Dad).
