Born In Chicago in 1947, I spent most of my life as an English teacher. Many characters if my book are composites of people we probably have met, for better or worse. I took thirty years to finish the book, delays caused by moving, lost manuscripts, etc. I currently life in Madison, Wisconsin, where retirement  has given me time for writing and whatever my wife Becky finds me to do. I have a granddaughter, with one due shortly, which also keeps me hopping.
