Ira Tabankin

I was born in 1949. I grew up a child of the cold war in northern New Jersey. I practiced ducking and covering under my desks during air raid drills. I viewed death for the first time when I was 13, my camp counselor died in front of me. I realized that there are very few fairly tales in the real world. I learned preparing from by father. I've lived all over the country and have had the chance to travel the world. I write politically incorrect stories, usually told from the eyes of common people who get caught up in events when the world spins out of control around them. None of my stories have neighborhoods full of special forces troops, none have the cavalry riding over the hill to save everyone. Many of my stories have a dark side, there is violence and foul language because I think this makes the story more realistic Many of my stories don't have happy endings because I think when the SHTF most people's stories aren't going to end well. My spelling and grammar aren't always the best. However, I think you'll like the stories. Free to contact me at itabankin@aol.com
