      • I started reading very early, and then began writing in sixth grade. I had in aspirational teach, Ervin Milks, who brought an author to class (Allen Eckhart) and guided us in putting out a literary magazine.

      • Oh, yes! I wouldn't say my work is autobiographical, but the places I've lived, the jobs I've held, the things I've observed all end up in the books. An inscription in my high school yearbook was the spark for In the Lonely Backwater.
