Autorenporträt
Growing up outside of Pittsburgh in the 1960's, I was afforded a kids-eye view of the Beatles, Beach Boys and Major League Baseball, as well as such decade-defining events as the Summer of Love, Civil Rights demonstrations, the Vietnam War and LBJ's announcement not to seek re-election--and the jolting assassinations of JFK, Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy. I was immersed in the kind of soaring hopes and bitter disillusionment which defined a generation. As such, it is safe to say A House Divided began gestating years before taking shape in its current form. When I'm not writing, I teach Social Studies and P.E. I'm an avid runner, history buff, political junkie and erstwhile Frisbee player. I live with my wife near Austin, TX, and when not teaching, writing, or running, I enjoy visiting our three daughters and lovely granddaughter in Houston, TX, and Down East Maine.
