Ira L. White

I was born in California (1950) where I spent most of my life in one town or another. Lived in Idaho for 4 years when young and in my mid 20's lived in Vermont a year. I now reside in Oregon. Grew up on the lower end of the economic scale but managed to work my way through college.

Worked at a number of jobs and wound up as a USDA food inspector for 26+ years.

I began reading early. By the age of 5, I had read my first full length book. I started writing in 2nd grade. I've done writing much of my life with several long stretches of abstinence due to life getting in the way of art. My current book was born from the experience of caring for my dad who died of dementia.
