M. L. Winitsky holds a PhD and JD from UCLA. As a student, he majored in 20th-century European history. As an adjunct professor in its history department, he specialized in US constitutional history. Retired from teaching and consulting, he now resides in Pacific Palisades, California, with his lovely wife. When he lectures too much, she tells him to go write. Ever obedient, he is now an author. His personality alternates between curmudgeon and comedian, that is, when they don’t unite.
