: About Me

Because I like to write, my goal is to supplement my income with a direct attack on most forms of writing, blogs,e-books, novels, screen plays, essays, technical manuals, ghost writing and any other forms that may become obvious. I live in Southern California and have a BS Degree.

We all have to start somewhere and most of my writing is political and political satire novels. Technical writing is also done from a strong technical background gained during employment in engineering in most fields.  

I like movies, sports, fishing,reading, writing (fiction and non fiction)and believe that a good sense of humor is essential to one's existence in these modern times.

Shazam is the name I picked for my handle as it is not a common name and I like enunciating it as if Captain Marvel will suddenly appear. So now you know that I am a little long in the tooth, but there is no profit in discussing it further.

I am the author of A SOUTHERN FIX(www.Lulu.com Project 7823523) 10-09 which tracks historical trends during this time. A second novel is in the works. . The LucidCopy part of my work is for writing. I have published a Wildfire Mitigation book on Lulu.com which was precipitated from direct job experience.. I was the president of the Southern Chapter of the Semiconductor Safety Association for six years in the late nineties. Prior to that I was a flight test engineer flying for Lockheed Aircraft in Burbank, CA.

Now it is time to work on being original and creative to
achieve the goals of writing. I think it will be both, work and fun. I may be contacted at: www.LucidCopy@gmail.com

It is curious to note that humans have progressed from the sparsely populated natives who depended on the sun for their God and their other endeavors to the current homo sapiens, who after accomplishing so much during our history, are wanting to return to the most pressing needs of daily life. Getting a good sun tan is high on the list and other endeavors dwindle in importance along with transportation and food requirements. Thus, we have come full circle from the early malcontents of sacrificial acts to make sure Mother Nature’s sun is happy to do all the work, to those throughout h...
