My name is Fxgentleman and I am a resident of northern Virginia.

As someone with a strong interest in history and current events dating back to their teens, I was deeply intrigued by my first encounter with the concept of alternate history when I read the novel "For Want of a Nail" several decades ago. Since that time, I have become a passionate reader of the genre and find it deeply intriguing. I particularly enjoy Harry Turtledove.

As a first time contributor, I am currently focused for the forseeable future on a series of articles about the Middle East as part of the fascinating Doomsday scenario dealing with Lebanon, Syria, and the MNF. However, I am interested in doing additional articles on the same region as well. As someone who was a nineteen year old college student in 1983, I was shocked to hear about the story of September 26, 1983 and learn how close we came to nuclear war when I saw it in a documentary over a year ago. It definately makes you begin to think about what might have been. That said, my intention is to increase my articles as time and my job allows. Since I believe in doing my research so what I write will be reasonably grounded in reality as one can be, this adds time to the process.

To those who read my articles, I hope you find them of interest and thanks for taking the time.
