About the Author
Mike C. Erickson grew up in the idyllic college town of Logan, Utah, but by of a twist of fate, he graduated from high school in Honolulu. He left Hawaii brimming with aloha and enrolled at Utah State where he was awarded two degrees and self-proclaimed minor intellectual status. This was of dubious value when the US Army invited him to vacation in South-East Asia. Ten days after leaving Vietnam, he began decades of dispensing pearls of wisdom as a high school history teacher, academic decathlon coach, and on occasion, as a community college instructor in the Sacramento area. Mike and his wife Trudy, have two grown sons and a grandson to be born about the time of this novel is published. When not in Hawaii or another exotic locale, they live in Gold River, California. This is his first novel.
