Lloyd Tackitt

I was a military brat and then joined the Army myself in 1971. I was one of the seemingly few volunteer soldiers of the era, both of my brothers also went into the military after high school; it was a family tradition. After the Army I went to college and then launched a successful 30 year career in construction as a Project Manager. I managed multiple large projects, including several multi-million dollar water treatment plants across the country. This career path drove into me a pragmatic nature. You can't successfully manage construction without getting practical. I began writing at an early age but did not begin publishing until two years ago. My web page lloydtackitt.com has several of my short stories available for free reading. They range from humorous supernatural, experimental, to humorous slice of life stories. These stories are still in the rough stage, they all need to be edited. One day I will put them all together in one book; including several stories not on the web page, but before I do, they will be revised and edited. A Distant Eden is my first book. The second in the series is being written now and should be available soon. I also blog daily on fishing related matters at fishexplorer.com/TX
