Or maybe it's "Old new writer." 

Late in life I seem to have discovered a talent for writing. Or at least the joy of writing. Software analyst by day, SF writer by night. I guess I know what I'm going to be doing when I (finally) retired, although my wife tells me that's a ways off yet. Anyway ... I posted the Prologue and first three chapters  of my current project called The Black Box, and would value some constructive criticism to help me take it to the next level. It's about 10K words worth. Thanks for taking the time and effort to critique it.

Now I have to go find another piece to critique so I can put up a short story I'm working on.
