That’s the type of story I want to write.Back in the fourth or fifth grade, a teacher suggested I write as an after school project, but not because I was talented. She thought it would improve my spelling. It didn’t, but that hooked. I thought of myself as a writer.I started off writing stories about Peter Tyrant, the detective. When the James Bond movie, Goldfinger, came out, I changed to spy stories featuring Peter Tyrant. None of the stories survived, and I don’t remember any, and that’s probably for the best.Anyway, now that I am retired, I want to give it a serious try. I hope you’ll sample some of my stories. Here are the boring bits about me.I was born in Center Texas, back in 1949, but I grew up in Timpson. I attended Stephen F. Austin State University, then joined the Air Force so I wouldn’t go to Vietnam.They stationed me at Edwards California, Alconbury England, Wiesbaden Germany, Barksdale Louisiana, Suwon Korea, Alconbury again, Peterson Field Colorado, Kadena Okinawa, and back to Barksdale where I retired.Along the way, I got married and got divorced. I got married and got divorced. I got married and crossed my fingers. I have two sons, both are far better people than I. They gave me a bunch of grandkids, who are marvelous, and one daughter-in-law I like. I am not dead yet. The end.Herbert L. Jones (Herb. Jones)view less
