I am the father of two adult children, a daughter and a son, and the mother of six adult novels, though on first inspection, the third, SQUARE, may appear rather child-like. The sixth EVERYWHERE BUT HERE has been written and has begun its long journey toward publication. The official pub date is November 1, 2024. I was born in Peoria, Illinois and grew up in a small town nearby, the son of a factoryworker and a bank teller, though I come from a long line of Mennonite farmers. I graduated from Washington Community High School. I got a bachelor’s degree from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale and a law degree from the University of Illinois in Champaign. Between Carbondale and Champaign my first wife and I served with the Peace Corps in Brazil. My first position as a lawyer was with the Legal Aid Bureau in Chicago; then, back in Carbondale, I became the director of the Jackson and Williamson Counties offices of the Land of Lincoln Legal Assistance Foundation. From 1976 until 2019 I maintained a private legal practice in Garberville, California where I was also the part owner of Wolfenden, a publishing company. Since retiring, my wife and I have divided our time between the Redwood Coast of Northern California and the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia. The novels are: IN THE BIG CITY. Jason Winter, a small-town leather craftsman, father of a two-year-old and husband of an up-and-coming lawyer, tries to adjust to life in Chicago. THE HENDERSON MEMORIES. Connie meets Clint in Vancouver, hoping to discover the truth about her late parents’ past in Brazil, and her own. SQUARE. In thirteen-year-old Tim Holter’s small Midwestern town, Mr. Schwartzentraub will introduce Tim and his friends to a mysterious chemical compound that has far more uses than Mr. Schwartzentraub could have imagined. ROSYLAND: A NOVEL IN THREE ACTS. Set in Oregon, Tahoe, San Francisco and the wilds of Rosyland, the novel contains a lot of characters, frequent changes of focus and more than a few shenanigans. THERE CAME A CONTAGION, based my wife’s vivid former-life memory, tells the story of a family of sixteenth century peasant farmers who gets caught up in a wave of witch trials sweeping across Germany. EVERYWHERE BUT HERE. In this contemporary novel set in rural northern California, a successful artist meets his troubled muse. Available November 1, 2024. I have also released SHORT AND SHORTER, a collection of short stories.
