Autorenporträt
Gary Reichard spent his entire career in higher education, as a professor of United States history and academic administrator. As a young father and beginning professor, he came out as a gay man--haltingly--in the period in which this book is set. Among the cities in which he has lived and worked are Columbus, Washington, DC, and New York, the cities in which the story takes place. Father of two and grandfather of four, he is now married to the man with whom he has lived for more than three decades. He is the author of several publications in United States History. This is his first work of fiction--and he hopes not his last.
