One Byte At A Time: A Memoir (The BBS Years)
It was the mid-1990’s when I first discovered chatting online through Bulletin Board Systems. This discovery changed my life and led to some of the greatest, and not so greatest, times of my life.

Follow my adventure if you’d like to see what came before the Internet, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Mid Watch: A Short Story
Seaman Apprentice Steve Johnson hated standing the mid watch at the schoolhouse where he was stationed in the Navy. He didn’t mind the duty, he just didn’t like that creepy place in the middle of the night. Was it just his overactive imagination getting the best of him, or was there truly something not right about that place? This short story will reveal the answer to that question.
Tales of the RVidiots – Year One
Myself (Lee), my wife (Michelle), and our 100 pound Golden Retrievers (Sawyer and Finn) had no idea what we were getting into. We had never owned an RV and just decided to sell our house, get rid of most of our material possessions, and go on the road. What could go wrong? Ha! Plenty! Things also went right. We saw some amazing places and experienced a lot of new things. So did the scales of wrong and right balance out, or did it skew to one side? Find out!
One Byte at a Time: A Memoir (From BBS Heyday to Last Day)
In this second book in the One Byte at a Time series, I tell you about how my life continued to be heavily influenced by my online Bulletin Board System family. There were great times, wild times, and sad times. There are tales of romance, debauchery, friendships, and adversaries all centered around that online world. Follow my adventures if you’d like to see how we did things in the last days of the BBS before the Internet took over.
Friends Like Us: A Tale Of The New Kid In Town
In the 1980’s, a 15 year old kid that grew up in one town all his life was suddenly ripped from his stable orbit and given a new trajectory when he had to move to a new town. This anxiety ridden (only known as weird back then) kid was terrified of starting over at a new high school with no friends and no clue.
Oh yeah, that kid? It was me. I wrote this not so short story (novella?) when I was 19 years old and less than one year removed from graduating from that new high school. It’s been sitting around in one form or another for 36 years. I’ve decided to publish it now to contrast it against some of the adult memoirs I’ve also published. Hopefully, this story will show readers that I was innocent once and not always a depraved bad guy.
