Author: David Roy

I am a Vietnam veteran. I have worked on bridges in Tacoma, Washington, and drilling rigs in Alaska. I was a rig manager the last twelve years of my career. I’ve lived in five states and have worked with and dealt with people from most every walk of life, and nearly all of them have a story to tell. I had to further my education on the fly. I earned a diploma in creative writing through a correspondence course I took a few years ago. I have been writing since I was twelve, but I’ve never considered writing as a hobby. It’s more of a desire. I am recently retired. I live in Southeast Texas with my wife of forty-two years. We have three children and eight grandchildren. We travel and enjoy growing old together.
