Curtis Ray Jones's picture
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

Very well done all your details paint a clear picture of space tavel Saturn and family, grounded and so very human, exactly what Sci Fi needs to make relatable and satisfying
