Len Abram taught writing and literature at three universities, including to American service men and women in Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, Korea, and Bermuda. He spent a year teaching Marines on Okinawa how to write and believes they may have taught him more than he instructed them. After a PhD, Len transitioned into high tech – data communications and networks for BBN in Cambridge and the Federal Reserve System. He once instructed NATO soldiers in Germany on how to manage their network. He went on to write about financial services software for Fidelity Investments and got his broker’s license. His interest in the taxi business came from a friend, who ran three cabs around the clock. His father was in the Russian army and one cousin graduated from the Gulag. For six years Len reviewed for the Drood Review of Mystery. His short story “Cup of Kindness” was published in an anthology, Final Fenway Fiction, available on Amazon. The Medallion (2014) was his first novel, and Debris his second. Excerpts, along with short stories, songs, articles, reviews and contact information are online at: http://www.lenabram.com
