Talk:John Dalmas

Major Change
I looked up the author's web page. The original entry for this author seemed extremely POV (look at the history). I used the list of books on his web site to create the Bibliography. I have not found much more source material for his life and a random check of his novel titles do not show Wikipedia articles on them.

A writer periodically working on a novel about the final land campaign of the Great Northern War � Armfelt's campaign against Trondheim. The presentable chapters � about 40% of the entire book � can be examined on Dalmas's website.

Martin Co-authors
The co-author, Carl Martin was previously (and incorrectly) linked to the Wikipedia "Carl Martin" page (Carl Clarke Martin, English professional footballer). If links to either Carl Martin or Rod Martin are ever added, please note the following clarifying information to ensure the correct information is included:

Rod Martin (December 28, 1928 - May 19, 1992) is also known as Rodney Carl Martin Sr., and was born and raised in West Texas. He served in the Navy in the late 1940's in Seattle, Washington. He worked in the oil industry during the 1950's and as a manager at Documentation Incorporated, NASA Facility, Bethesda and later College Park, Maryland, during the 1960's. As of November 30, 2010, The Playmasters was his only published novel.

Carl Martin (born 1950) is also known as Rodney Carl Martin Jr. (eldest son of Rodney Carl Martin Sr.), and was born in West Texas and raised there, in Klamath Falls, Oregon and in Maryland. Martin was a minor Hollywood artist during the 1970's and 1980's, with some television coverage and several print articles about his work. He also did matte paintings for the 1984 Elaine and Saul Bass film, Quest, based on a Ray Bradbury short story, and did end credit typography for a number of minor films. As of November 30, 2010, Touch the Stars: Emergence is his only published novel by a major publisher. Martin has also won first place Krupnick award (Los Angeles Valley College, 1994) for his essay, "Outsiderness in the Scientific Community," and first place Dutton Books award (Los Angeles Valley College, 1994) for his short story, "Toady." Martin also has a bachelor's degree, summa cum laude, in information technology, from American Intercontinental University (2004), and has created 3D astronomy software, "Stars in the NeighborHood." Martin's personal website is at www.CarlMartin.Net.
