The author grew up in a small southern town in the 60s. I taught biology for 13 years before making hand carved Windsor chairs until my retirement in 2016. I live among the wooded hills in a rural part of Tennessee in a small rustic home I built myself. I have spent much of my writing time during the past two years completing a series of books loosely based upon my childhood in the early to mid-sixties. This series is known as "The Rascals of Stafford Street."
