I write nonfiction, history and historical satire. Historical biography in the style of Will Cuppy. In school, history was my favorite subject. Studied history at Saint Louis University and in the field in more than a dozen countries. Lived and traveled in Europe and North Africa for five years. Returning to the States in 1973, I worked as a cartoonist and columnist, later as a genealogy researcher. Some editing, proofreading, and book reviewing. Co-authored a book of genealogy.
