Author bio

Author and a retired computer systems and software developer. I reside with my wife of 50+ years in Southwest Florida. I've self-published a novella titled The Implant which is available on Amazon. Some of my other stories can be found at https://robertiveystories.wordpress.com/ Blurb for The Implant: Melinda Matthews, a freelance journalist, learns from a pharmaceutical company employee that a medical implant capsule designed and marketed by the company has features that violates a person’s right to privacy.

Melinda becomes an advocate for digital privacy rights, but faced with political opposition and a complacent public, will she and her followers be able to stop the spread of the device?
