Who: The Wise Duck

What: Fiftyish White Male with Gray Hair (But at least I have it all).

When: Tuesday After Lunch-that cosmic time when everything in the Universe gets done.

Where: Southern California

Why: If I knew that I would be more than a Wise Duck

But Seriously Folks.

Who Am I. Well, I could be an Scottish Infantryman in Queen Victoria's Army in 1882, http://www.bydand.com ">www.bydand.com

I might be a HalfTrack Driver in the American Army in the Second World War 2. http://www.2ndarmored.com ">www.2ndarmored.com

I just might be a twenty-six plus Veteran Detective of a major Southern Californian City. I'm a Veteran of the United States Armed Forces and most proudly, I am a Father and a Husband.

I have various interests, the ones I see the most on the bios here at Fanfiction include:

Music:

70's/80's/90's Soft Rock/Pop, Classical, Jazz, Celtic, Folk, Bluegrass.

Books/Authors:

Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Larry Niven, Anne McCaffrey, J.R.R. Tolkien, J.K. Rowling, Elizabeth Moon, David Weber. I am also an amateur historian of World War Two and a voracious reader on the subject.

Manga-Anime

Appleseed, Avatar The Last Airbender, Black Lagoon, Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040, Cowboy Bebop, Dirty Pair, Ghost in the Shell (all versions), Gunsmith Cats, Outlaw Star, Robotech, Trigon.

Me as a writer? I stated writing by banging out my own versions of the T.V. show "The Rat Patrol" (1966-1968) on my Grandmothers manual. Things just kind of went downhill from there. I wrote something about many of the action/adventure shows through my teen years, spent the hours on board ship off the coast of Viet Nam doing it to pass the time and continued on pretty much until Marriage and Fatherhood absorbed the time that I had for it. I was able to return to writing about four years ago and I discovered Fanfiction during Christmas 2004. I have been delighted, enthralled, excited, and moved to tears by what I have found and I hope that I might, in my own small way, be able to return the favor to some of those who have provided those emotions to me.
