Here is the link if you would like to donate Every bit helps!!
I'm a science fiction addict but also read lots of other genres, but I'm never without a book, a true bookaholic. I'm also hooked on sudoku, solitaire, Words With Friends, and a bunch of other silly Facebook games. I live in San Diego; I've spent many years
working in high-tech and have recently changed careers in order to have less stress and more life! Read my "Dominant Intelligence" profile down at the bottom of the page, it's eerily accurate! In the Myers-Briggs personality typing I'm an INFJ.
More info here.
My released books don't necessarily represent my taste in books -- I buy a great many books just for the fun of releasing them. My GoodReads links below will show you what I really do read.

An interesting list someone put together: the top 100 must-reads for men
Your Dominant Intelligence is Logical-Mathematical Intelligence |
 You are great at finding patterns and relationships between things. Always curious about how things work, you love to set up experiments. You need for the world to make sense - and are good at making sense of it. You have a head for numbers and math ... and you can solve almost any logic puzzle. You would make a great scientist, engineer, computer programmer, researcher, accountant, or mathematician. |
A favorite quote: "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." Robert A. Heinlein
