About the Author

Darrell is the author of about two dozen books, in many genres, running the gamut from humor to mystery and science fiction to non-fiction and a few humorous works which are sort of fictional non-fiction, if that makes any sense. He has even written for children. For the last several years he has concentrated on humor and science fiction, both short fiction, non-fiction (sort of) and novels. He is currently writing the fourth novel in the series begun with "Medics Wild." Darrell served thirteen years in the military and his two stints in Vietnam formed the basis for his first published novel, "Medics Wild." Darrell has been writing off and on all his life but really got serious about it only after the advent of computers. He purchased his first one in 1989 and has been writing furiously ever since. While Darrell was working as a lab manager at a hospital in Texas, he met his wife Betty. He trapped her under a mistletoe sprig and they were married a year later. Darrell and Betty own and operate a Christmas tree farm in East Texas which has become the subject and backdrop for many of his humorous stories and books.

This review is from: Postwar Dinosaur Blues (Paperback)

This story reminded me of someone going fishing but in a very different way. Although I don't thing that I would have used a plane to use as a lure. And to bad they didn't get the picture they probably would have made a lot of money but you know how the scientific community is the would want a body to go with it. OH well that leaves the Dinosaur and the material for another story. And who knows maybe there is some more dinosaurs around some where.
