My name is Eddie Doody. I write under the name of Tony Franks in memory of my two late brothers. I started to write to keep myself occupied during retirement. This is the second in the series of the Daganhoyt. The first one was through the accepted channel of publishing and is available in Amazon books. I have two more books in the series I am working on. My grandchildren also want me to write a children's story. I have always been interested in reading and writing. My favourite author is the late Tom Clancy. The early days of Star Trek in the 60s inspired my fascination for the genre. So if anything is to blame, that is as good as any.
