The Author was born the oldest of three siblings in Stamford, CT.  He went through the Connecticut school system studying College Prep, until his mom moved the family to NH. He attended high school in Tilton, NH then entered the U.S. Air Force. Eventually he returned to NH and settled down. He moved to Arizona and spent four years in the "Valley of the Sun". A phone call in the fourth year had him return to New Hampshire to care for his mom who was initially diagnosed with C.O.P.D. (a respiratory ailment). Then, the day after Thanksgiving in 2001 his mom was diagnosed with lung and liver cancer and in less than six months she was taken from this life. And then three years later after he had returned to Arizona, he got a fateful call from his step-mom that his step-dad was in very bad condition from yet again, lung cancer! At the time his employer (a car dealership in Show Low, AZ.) failed to provide him with a requested advance on his paycheck (which was covered in the employees handbook) to allow him to return home. His dad died and he was unable to return until the funeral. Shortly after these losses he once again returned to Arizona and after a massive heart attack, he finished the first novel in the series.
