| Introduction | I've been a drug store delivery boy, paperboy, newspaper reporter and editor, Navy officer, college professor of history, and psychotherapist, more or less in that order. More than all of those, though, I'm a reader, and a writer. I can't remember when I couldn't read, and probably started writing as soon as I could hold a pencil. Born in Texas, have lived in Boston for 40 years--still can't speak the language. Married, one delightful and obstreperous daughter who knits a lot. I like big dogs, especially Bullmastiffs. |
