Harvey,who has always believed that books are magic, can't imagine a day without reading. "Where was the internet when I needed it?"
Background
Information
When I was six years old I was allowed to have my own library card. I proudly signed up and checked out Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leadues Under the Sea. My passion for words began early.
I was raised in the Canton section of Baltimore Maryland, and reside in Virginia, with my wife Susan. I graduated from California State College, now California University of Pennsylvania. I began teaching biology and earned a master's at Towson University. After I retired from Anne Arundel Public Schools, I began writing in order to answer the, 'What are you doing now?' question.
My influences vary, changing rapidly. My wife has been a constant in the changes. I still read or re-read, The Immense Journey by Loren Eisley, anything by Ray Bradbury, Any scrap of paper with information about the science of lie, Killer Angels, Fighting the Flying Circus and old copies of Walt Kelley's Pogo. I believe that Mad Comics helped fire my appetite for learning.
Much to my surprise I enjoyed playing with words...and I still do. Every day I find a new perspective and hope to do so until my end.
Birth Place

Additional Information
I have written several novels, Little Sister of War formerly published by Booksunbound.com is now on Kindle Books or in paperback on Amazon.com. Another book, Moonlight on the River, is currently published by Create Space and available on Amazon. I also published, As The Wind Walks, with Asyslett Press. When Asylett exited from the small press world I put it on Kindle Books and Amazon. Death Takes a Number, is being published by Champagne Books until January 31, 2013. (champagnebooks.com). After that I'll regain my rights and make it avaiable through Create Space.
I intend to write three more novels, all in different genres. I believe that everything I write must be accurate and educational. My intent is to make you misty-eyed and chuckle before you put one of my books down.
