Charles Brass is the pen name of a middle-ager who believes in the maxim "Write what you want to read!" He enjoys science-fiction above all other genres, and action-adventure tales most within the genre- though space opera and epic tales come a close second. He's not into convoluted explanations of technology or how things work- hey, it's science-fiction! Have fun with it!Charles served six years in the US Navy right out of high school, where he earned his education and training as a Radiologic Technologist (x-ray tech), and served in Bahrain during the first Gulf War (remember that one?). After leaving the service, he worked as a word processor for a few years (where he learned the joy that is WordPerfect!) before returning full-time to Radiology.In the decades since, he has obtained his credentials in CT and MRI, and currently works in a small city west of the Minneapolis, as the night-shift CT/MRI technologist for a local stand-alone emergency center. With a new Bachelor's degree in animation under his belt, his business idea will soon claim a majority of his waking hours. But rest assured, he will find the time to keep writing now that the Muse has struck- even if it means his patients in the ED have to wait a moment or two... ha!
