I was born and raised in Hartford CT I hold a BA and a JD from the University of Connecticut and practiced law for many years with the Federal government and private practice, as well as doing consulting to property developers and managers.  Crocodile Mothers Eat Their Young, drawn from my foster father experience, is the first of my novels to be published. I am using the pen name Avi Morris as a tribute to my grandfathers. At this time, I've been married for forty five years, have three natural sons, five grandchildren and have had several foster children. 

Aside from wrting, I enjoy reading, travel, cooking,  playing a game that barely resembles golf, and most of all, playing with my young grandchildren.
