Autorenporträt
The author grew up in a rural area of Pennsylvania near Gettysburg. As a child he went to a one room grade school. On occasion, an estranged middle-aged woman that the kids referred to as "Pretty Polly" would walk by the school at recess or lunch time when we were in the schoolyard. As children, also we used to pluck petals from daisies alternately as "love me, love me not." In later years, the author combined these notions into what is now this novelette entitled "Miss Daisy." His other books include "Understanding Music Chord Structures and Progressions," July 2016 and "The Christmas Jack," 1986. The author studied physics, receiving AB, MS, and PhD degrees. Aside from his career in physics, he enjoys playing and composing music, writing short stories, and poetry.
