Oh, gosh, since I'm older and started way back there about 1978, handwriting novels (About six of them), I'll throw my credit list up which starts at about 1987 when I first started seriously submitting my work and getting published. It has a timeline and the publisher names and books.
My stint from 1987 to 1991 brought me all the money, TV, radio and newspaper limelight, not to mention shoulder rubs with Hollywood for a SF distopian that got edged out by Jurassic Park. I did no writing from 1992 to October 2004, and then started up again full force. I joined AW at that time and have been writing ever since.
