A story collection: one novette, a short story, and a satirical short-short.
In "THE VILLAIN," the Enclave of the Villainy has few rules, but Marcus Legend manages to break one, putting his life at risk. At first, using his power for just the "party displays" let his practice his skill in creating Illusions. Eventually he violates the rules of society itself, and after years on the run, he must finally use his illusions and all of his skill to defend himself against its power.
"THE SECRET OF LIFE, THE UNIVERSE, AND EVERYTHING" is a short-short that explains pretty much all of it, our whole existence. But don't take it too seriously.
"THE GOLDEN APPLE" is a prize asteroid fought over by both Earth and its former colony, Mars. But it appears that the squabbling factions have crossed paths with the wrong man. After he loses everything to the war, he finds a drastic way to end it.
He was born in Atlanta in 1945, grew up in next-door DeKalb County, and developed a love for reading right after he discovered the school library. He read almost everything, but was especially fascinated by the fantastic tales of spaceships, space exploration, and conflict among the stars. He soon became familiar with the writers who would influence his own work: Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, John W. Campbell, and later, Larry Niven and Harlan Ellison. He graduated from Avondale High School just outside Atlanta, and after a stint in the U.S. Army assigned as a radio mechanic to the 2nd Armored Division at Ft. Hood, Texas, he worked in the field of electronics and electronic technology. After many years of reading all of those great Science Fiction stories, he decided, "I can do that," and wrote some of his own. In July 1981 he sold his first published story, Timestopper, to Amazing Stories. Eventually, with more of his stories reaching publication, he became a veteran writer in the Science Fiction genre.
But he has done more in the arts than write a few stories. He once thought he could draw and paint pictures, and he created and sold a few landscape paintings, both oil and acrylic. You can view some of these on his website. He currently lives in a rural farming community in Morgan County, Georgia, where he writes full time.
