Hello Squad!
I am soooo happy to have this website. Feel like Dean on his first Essay ride. My name is Ron Woodruff and I'm a 30 something Connecticut Yankee living in Chicago for the past 17 years. Was a teacher in the inner city for 6 years, now work for Genworth Financial. I've been devouring STARFIST since 1999. I actually emailed Dan screaming when I thought he killed off Charlie Bass (actually, like Top, I knew he'd be back). Luckily, Dan talked me off the ledge. I have no military background but love Military Space Operas, and this one is the best! My father-in-law is/was a Marine Sniper during the 'Nam. From reading Starfist, I asked him sooo many questions about the Marines which he was MORE than happy to explain. This series actually brought us closer and I actually got a real inside view of that chapter of his life. HooRah! I also love Force Recon as well as DemonTech, "Feed Me". Let's hope DemonTech restarts. I'm looking forward to many great conversations on a fantastic series. Thanks to Mike for putting this site together!

Not a problem w/ me buying your books. My wife thinks I'm nuts buying a hardback when all I have to do is wait a few months for the paperback to come out. HA! Silly rabbit, paperbacks are for kids. I can't WAIT for a Starfist book. I must have it & devour it, no matter the cost. Ok, got a little dramatic there but you get my point. Dan & David, thank you so much for this great series. You are already up there with Weber & Ringo, but in my opinion even higher...Heinlein baby! Just one grunt's opinion.
