The Richard Jackson Saga (Book 1 to 7) by Ed Nelson
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.21 MB
Overview: I have always wanted to be an author. I had my first rejection slip in about 1965. Wish I had saved it. For many years the only writing I did was technical in nature as pesky things like three children, nine grandchildren and three great grandchildren came along. My technical writing was in the field of quality in several different journals.
