Rainbow Arc of Fire: July 2022

About the Author

I was born in Florida in 1949; raised in California in the 50's, 60's and early 70's; and have lived in Colorado since 1978, when, as a captain, I was stationed at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs and taught freshman English for three semesters. More than a decade before "Don't ask; Don't tell," I was then outed and discharged in 1979, for being gay.

I currently live in Indio, CA, with my incredible husband (we were married May 4th, 2019), Mark Gallegos, as well as with our two delightful cats, Tabby and Pudge, who allow us to feed and care for them on a daily basis. I have written and edited the RAINBOW ARC OF FIRE series since March of 1994, publishing the first volume, A MILE-HIGH SAGA, in the fall of 1996. All ten published paperback volumes are available through amazon.com as inexpensive print-on-demand copies. In addition, all ten volumes are available as amazon Kindle editions.

Letter to the editor

Forty-five years ago, I used to read the Legion of Super-heroes stories in Adventure Comics from DC. I noticed a wide discrepancy between how often some of the lesser characters appeared versus the more well-known team members. So I decided to document my findings and mail them in to DC after counting how many times each of the heroes appeared in all the panels of all the existing Legion comics. To my surprise and delight, DC Comics printed my letter to the editor and gave me my own super-hero name. Joe Palmer of the gayleague.com found that letter and provided it to me. Here it is.
