Autorenporträt
Born in south Mississippi, Arthur's father owned a weekend fish camp on Bayou Caddy in Waveland, 35 miles from New Orleans. Weekends in this shrimping community and endless speckled trout adventures in the Gulf of Mexico offered both an outdoor paradise and a deep appreciation for Gulf Coast cuisine and culture. Arthur has a master's in English, taught high school and college in Mississippi then Oklahoma, and after working for AT&T in Tulsa was relocated to New Jersey where he met Sally, his wife of 36 years. Leaving AT&T to become a principal in Alpha Technologies as COO, he later became CEO of Immedient Technologies. Retired now, he has three grown children and splits time between the wooded suburbs of northern New Jersey and the beaches of Cabarete in The Dominican Republic. This is his second novel.
