I am a retired chemist. I've been writing science fiction (SF please, not sci-fi) and romance for over forty years. I used to be a runner but now a walker due to heart problems. I've been a Christian for over fifty years. I've been married for 59 years. I have a bachelor's in chemistry from Purdue University, Jan. 1961. I have a Masters in chemistry from IU, Jan. 1975. I have attended writers' workshops. My real passion is writing and my great desire is publishing. I do have online romance stories with thewildrosepress.com, smashwords and several novels and short stories both via KDP and traditional publishers. I have a sweet romance novel published by Wings ePress available in both print and ebook. I have a science fiction novel through Burst Books available in ebook form. I have three fiction/nonfiction Bible character books and one nonfiction book self-published via KDP. All of these stories can be found on Amazon by typing in Larry Hammersley books.
