I'm retired and bored, so I thought I'd have a go at writing fiction short stories. This is my first attempt and, hopefully, not my last. I love sci-fi, so I decided this was the best genre for me. I did write a full-length murder story some years ago, but it wasn't accepted, so I gave up writing for a few years. But now I'm at it again. old, but not obsolete. This is a rewrite of my first version of The Capsule, so I hope I have made the story more interesting. I've had to give up playing keyboard because of arthritis, so I decided to write a book with some of the tips and tricks I learned as a beginner. See my Keyboard Master book.
