Married for more than 40 years. Has one child.
I grew up extremely poor. Much of my writings reflect upon poverty and the degradation that poverty and blatant racial segregation had on my life and my ability to transcend much of my past.
I have lived throughout the world: Germany, The Netherlands, Japan, Korea, Guam, Vietnam, Australia, and New Zealand, not to mention several states in America.
