Gloria Waldron Hukle lives in Upstate New York on the fringe of the Berkshire mountains. She is currently working on the fourth book of her "Waldron Series" an American saga that begins mid 1600s in Manhattan and traverses four centuries of life following several families living in New York. Another author, Richard Llewellyn said it best for me in his classic story, "How Green Was My Valley." I saw behind me those who had gone, and before me those who are to come. I looked back and saw my father and his father and all our fathers, and in front to see my son and his son and the sons upon sons beyond." The "Waldron Series Novels" are "Manhattan Seeds of the Big Apple" "The Diary of a Northern Moon" , "Threads An American Tapestry" and recently published "Souls of the Soil"
