William Dritschilo

I have always been a writer. However, I never became an author until Amazon created a way for all of us at our keyboards to publish and not just write. The books that I have written and published through Amazon all needed to be published, either for historical reasons, or out of my need to get important ideas out. They include fiction, nonfiction, and a translation from Russian. None, I find, exactly fit a specific category. Many have the kind of small audience that cause commercial publishers to take a pass on them. Amazon has let me reach my audience and they have found ways to reach out to me. I am not getting rich, but I am becoming highly satisfied with the entire writing experience.

In between writing, I managed to get college degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and Cornell University; worked as a chemical engineer, biochemist, ecologist, environmental engineer/scientist, and teacher; and raised a family in Vermont. In those various phases, I passed through a medical school lab, the California Department of Agriculture, Barry Commoner's Center for the Biology of Natural Systems, UCLA's Environmental Science and Engineering Program, Rutland (Vt) High School, Killington Mountain School, and many of the colleges in southern Vermont, researching or teaching some aspect of science from biology to physics. I also fished, skied, canoed, bicycled, traveled, and enjoyed life a lot.
