Autorenporträt
Albert R. Cumberbatch, Ph. D, is a native of Guyana, a small, English-speaking country on the northern coast of South America. On migrating to the United States, he settled in Boston to attend the University of Massachusetts, where he graduated with bachelor degrees in biology and psychology. He likes to say he spent over half of his life in a high school science classroom, and most of his life as an environmentalist. Along the way, Dr. Cumberbatch earned an MA (Ed) and a Ph.D (Env. Ed.). He decided to finally write "to put the demons in his head, yearning to break free, down on paper." This is his first novel. Dr. Cumberbatch currently resides in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
