Perkins: Well, Mr. Jackson, thank you for joining me here at Aeronautics Anonymous. And thank you especially for being my first guest. First of many I hope! Let's start from the beginning. What is your oldest memory of writing?
Jackson: At the age of three, when I began using the typewriter to hack out my name.
Perkins: Were you a natural child-storyteller?
Jackson: Playing with friends, yes. We made up our own Star Wars style adventures to act out, and I loved writing up sci-fi stories.
Perkins: What were some of those first stories?
Jackson: I kept jumping from one idea to another that I rarely finished a tale! Most ideas ended up in RPG's, which helped me hone a story from start to finish. That's where the Rail began in 1993.
