# About me
Hello! I'm Collin R. Skocik, a lifelong fan of science fiction, the American space program, deep-sea fishing and generally soaking up the good life at the beach.I started writing when I was in first grade and the teacher showed me how to fold three sheets of paper together and staple them along the fold, thus making a little book. The first story I ever wrote was "The Eyeball That Flew Across the City." Alas, that little gem is long lost.
I didn't do too well in school--my mind was always on my stories--but after graduating from college I poured myself into learning as much about science and technology as I could in order to infuse my science fiction with that all-important dash of realism.
In 2007 I started meeting astronauts--the first astronaut I met was Rick Mastracchio, less than two months before he went on the STS-118 mission aboard Space Shuttle Endeavour--and since then I've availed myself of every opportunity to meet and mingle with astronauts, which in addition to being enormously transformative personally, has also helped me to craft more realistic characters and dialogue in my fiction.
