After Hours Reality Check Magazine A Season in Methven

stark realities -- Facts and Fictions is the business umbrella beneath which all my creative endeavors take place. It has been my service mark since I first moved to California in 1980.

I became a full-time writer when my wife and I moved to Mariposa, California -- home of Yosemite National Park, the crown jewel in the United States' National Park System -- in October, 2000.

In Spring of 2002, I attempted to self-syndicate a column called "Stark's Reality". My attempt failed, foundered on the rocks of the U.S. newspaper publishing industry's economic contraction in the face of plunging ad revenues.

Beginning in 2003, I hope to be occupied full time researching and writing a historical novel about Alexander the Great.
