Starting with a creative writing class at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, I have felt the need to write adventure novels. Toward that end I have studied under mentors John Tigges, Carolyn Banks, and many others. Also, I have completed a number of correspondence writing courses to better learn the craft. I loved the Allan Quartermain series and have written a number of adventure novels in an attempt at joining in all the fun. I now have a number of published, or soon to be published, works to my credit. All are available in at Amazon and other suppliers (please check out Http://www.garytownersavailablenovels.com).
