About the Book

This science fiction anthology is composed of six short stories, as follows:

This is a story about a relatively unknown inventor who develops delusions of grandeur that turn out be true.

"Just Missed Me"
This is a story about a mysterious galactic ambassador sizing up the competition.

"Something Slipped Up"
Suppose one of the true movers-and-shakers of the world slips up and accidentally grants you your wildest dreams. Read on--.

"Keeper of the World"
Is the world as common place, and as easily defined, as we take for granted? Consider this tale before deciding.

"Shaman"
This is the beginning story of a possible future series of tales about a Shaman-born Native American that is prepped by an ancient immortal, for a special roll in the future and destiny of Earth’s Homo Sapiens Culture.

"Intelligence"
Are humans the only intelligent species on this planet? Think twice before answering.


About the Author

I am something of an eccentric recluse, more by habit than by inclination.

I grew up in Ballinger, Texas, a small town in West Central Texas, near Abilene and San Angelo. I graduated Salutatorian of my Ballinger High School Class of 1969. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Physics with a minor in Math, and an equivalent minor in Chemistry, from Austin College, in Sherman Texas, in 1973.

I have lived in the local San Antonio, Texas area for most of my adult life.

I am currently disabled. But I occupy myself by playing with electronic gadgets, by taking continuing education courses at a local junior college, and by reading, writing, and drawing.
