Curtis Ray Jones
I'm a 73-year-old retired factory husband, father of two, grandfather of one. I am an amateur Sci-Fi Fantasy writer and write little poetry too, none of it published, I don't count Publish America, which 'published' my current project, Banished To Earth, in 2004. My only formal education is a creative writing class I had way back in 1970, so I'm kind of out of my depth on this site, but I'm trying to keep up. Love sharing my stuff. Thanks for the opportunity to do so. Ray

grim but well written

My Aunt developed severe mental problems as she aged. She was a brilliant student, but her inner wiring went, well, haywire years before she died, which was odd since my father never learned to read and apparently experienced some of the same...

Great read...

Its good kids don't see the world like adults, but the world does not care about their innocence or misplaced confidence in the security the adults provide. When trouble comes, too often they don't see until it's too late, that grownups have to...
