I'm retired twice, first from the Air Force and then as a college professor. I'm not sure yet if writing is a third career or just something I enjoy - as I used to tell my students, if you're not making money at it then it might just be a hobby. I write mostly science fiction but I've also written a few short stories that can be classified as fiction, mystery, and/or just downright ridiculous.
