Pseudonym:

After careful consideration, I made a conscious decision to represent myself throughout the site with a pseudonym. I'm sure it defies conventional publishing wisdom but it enables the preservation of some privacy. I am not hiding. To the contrary, I am very accessible. I just want the ability to step back. If you would like more info about me; I can be reached by email: pr@csrunn.com.

On Writing:

I found writing a novel very fulfilling and intellectual enriching, but short stories are really fun (a nice break). I really like my short story JUSTICE. Layered into the story beyond the premise of a government being able to order order an abortion are judges legislating from the bench, parental consent, and the moral conflict religion and the law. Very fertile ground for a longer novel.

Background:

I was born and raised in south Florida and attended the University of Florida graduating with bachelor of science degree. Following college, I joined the navy and attended flight school in Pensacola, Florida. After being designated a Naval Flight Officer, I reported to VF-124 in San Diego, California and became an F-14 Tomcat Radar Intercept Officer. During a twenty-year carrier, I accumulated over 2,200 flight hours and 336 carrier arrested landings.

Subsequent to my navy career, I went to work for the Federal Aviation Administration as an operations research analysis. This work included unmanned aircraft systems research that answered questions about integration of UAS with manned aircraft into the National Airspace System.

I now live in San Diego, California making frequent trips around the country to explore our nation’s great national parks as I once did with my older brother. I also enjoy spending time "yachting" on JBO - Jerry's Boat - a terrific, easy to handle, fourteen foot boat with a 40 hp motor.
