Yes, my father-in-law is still teaching, but just one or two students from time to time. My husband works at Johnson Space Center, near Houston, doing structural engineering. I used to do robotics there, mostly on the computer side, but some senso...
I don't really fly anymore (too busy with 3 small children), but I do have my private pilot's license, as does my husband. My dad was a pilot in the Air Force, and my father-in-law is a flight instructor, so I guess it runs in the family! I worked...
A place where pilots who write and writers who fly can share their ideas. Also a place for non-flying writers working on aviation stories or articles to come and ask those technical questions the aviators would know.
Science Fiction sucked inside here.
Part of creating a great fantasy novel is inventing a world that’s engaging and interesting. Need ideas on how to develop a mythology? Looking for source materials that might spark your imagination? Want to bounce ideas? This is the group for you.
Hello! I'm a stay at home mom with 3 kids - a 4 year old daughter who tells stories all the time, a daughter who just turned 2 today, and a son who turns 1 on Wednesday. In the few minutes of spare time I have to write, I am working on a sci-fi no...

- Johnson Co. Community College is in Overland Park, KS. But I think that Larry Tyree was going back home to Florida after he left the college. (If I remember correctly.)

- Take a look at the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association website. About fifty publishers use this website to screen books including Zondervan Press. They also have a good article on agents and a list of agents that handle Christian fiction. Take a look at Hartline Agency's website and look at the way they want book submissions. An agent at Hartline is looking at my book.

- I had a book editor at Moody Press ask me to have a freelance editor help me with the revisions on my novel. I had Rennie Browne at The Editorial Department help me. Ms Browne is a former senior editor at HarperCollins, and co-wrote Self Editing for Fiction Writers which is one of the better books on how to write a novel. It cost me $800 and I had Ms Browne and one other freelance editor go through the manuscript. The wrote a critique and then inserted editorial comments into the text of the manuscript. This is what took me from a wanna be writer to someone who has gotten great feedback from the acquisition editor at Moody Press. It took me five months to save up the fee, but it was worth more than all the writing classes I took. Instead of just hoping you manuscript is good enough for a small investment you can see what it needs. Good luck with your efforts to find publication. You might look at Tara Oak Press which is set up to publish first time authors (they did my first book) and specialize in publishing books of established authors whose books have gone out of print. It looks good to have sold a book and if you hit it big you can cancel your contract with Oak Tara and get the rights to your book back in six months. If an agent takes my second book I will probablely cancel my contract with Oak Tara because you will not make much money with Oak Tara as a publisher because they are a very small press, but they are a royalty publisher and not a vanity press.
