While in the service he acquired his Master Degree at George Washington University in 1971 and a PhD, from the University of Maryland in 1975 in Industrial Organizational Psychology.

Dr. Duncan Dieterly has survived three marriages and has four grown adult children, a son and three daughters. Previously over a forty year period he had written endless professional papers, articles and technical training guides. He chooses to focus his talent toward fiction during his semi-retirement years. He collects too many books and reads too few as his primary relaxation. Duncan is an apprentice “word weaver” who is seeking to craft stories that entertain and excite readers. He would like to see the world evolve into a better place; allowing all people to achieve their dreams. One of his guiding principals in telling stories is: Omnia exeunt in mysterium. — “All things end in mystery.”view less
