My Pedigree
Call me D or dblkrose; that's what my friends know me by. Don't let my looks fool you; I'm friendly and don't bite. My little girl in this pic is named Bernadette, or Bernie for short. Unfortunately, she is no longer with me, but I still love her and like this picture.
A quick rundown on me is that I am a military brat by birth (Marine Corp), born in Okinawa, Japan, but grew up in Fayetteville, NC. Upon completing high school, I answered the call and joined the military (Navy, sorry, Dad), where I served ten years as a Fire Control Technician. I've seen much of the world before and was old enough to know what to do with that experience. Now, I toil about working a regular nine-to-five and dreaming of becoming a professional writer.
Speaking of writing, I have some work posted here and there on several websites, with my latest bulk of work being on Elliquiy under dblkrose. I enjoy writing fiction; my preferred genres are fantasy, sci-fi, horror, and erotica. I love to read and take notes from several established authors like Dean Koontz, R.A. Salvatore, Brandon Sanderson, Jim Butcher, Michael Stephen Fuchs, Max Brooks... and a whole other list of people, as there are so many to name. I'm a closet geek and still enjoy reading comic books, playing D&D and video games, and catching the latest Disney Channel Series or the next episode of Picard. Due to my Japanese experience, I'm also big into Manga and Anime.
So that's a glimpse of my pedigree and what makes me who I am, and I look forward to sharing my talents and more of myself through my website and future literary works.

Stories from the Rose Garden
Dreadnaught's Child is twelve chapters in and growing... Look for this Title to drop by late summer - early fall 2024
“Gabriel.” The Commandant inquired. “What are you aiming at?”
“The last target. The one beyond the master’s range.” Came a voice calm and confident.
The virtual AI looked down the length of the range at what appeared to be empty darkness. Others followed their instructor’s prompt, and no one seemed to be able to identify this phantom object. Yet the confirmation that one was there came from the Commandant himself.
“There is no possible way you could see that.”
“I don’t,” Gabriel replied. “I feel it.” The young soldier takes a long breath, then pulls the trigger, his rifle erupting. The slug moved so fast that its distortion waves ripple through the Dreadnaught’s internal atmosphere. Somewhere, far off in the distance, there’s a momentary glow, an almost imperceivable blink as something flashes green, then is gone.
This time, there was only awed silence from the other cadets in attendance and the inscrutable expression of the Artificial Intelligence as it turned from the flash to the cadet and reads his being in every way possible.
