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

Good thing Shadow and Ivan didn't fall into the pit. Glad Joshua had a stroke of like being found by a good man rather Jonah

Magic carpet ride, and no doubt a wizard. Is Billy an intruder? Is he a summoned guest? Prey, food or ingredient for some hellish brew? Exciting prose, fun to read, easy to see and feel.  

Another great effort really enjoyed
