Ken is a retired biology professor with an avocation of writing, especially historical fiction. He grew up poor in northern Wisconsin, and lives there again. Other than literature his interests include hiking, gardening, and birding. He has two sons and two granddaughters. He is grateful to have had the time and resources to explore the world, and consider his place in it. He hopes his books, which he's 100% sure could not have been written by AI, reflect his sense of gratitude as well as the sense of wonder his life has brought him.
