David Gardner

David grew up on a Wisconsin dairy farm, served in Army Special Forces and earned a Ph.D. in French from the University of Wisconsin. He has taught college, worked as a reporter and sold women's shoes. He coauthored three programming books for Prentice Hall and wrote dozens of travel articles as well as too many mind-numbing computer manuals. David lives in Massachusetts with his wife, Nancy, also a writer. He hikes, bikes, messes around with astrophotography and plays the keyboard with no discernable talent whatsoever.
