C., he enjoyed a youth misspent in the hinterlands of the upper Midwest prior to graduating from the University of Michigan with a degree in English literature. Over the course of a year’s work at a publishing house in Detroit he contracted a chronic case of wanderlust and has since become an avid traveller. Supported by abiding interests in languages, foreign cultures, and exotic food, he has made his home variously on four continents. Black Wolf: A Samurai Tale is his first novel. He currently lives out of his backpack and can be found somewhere in Eurasia writing his second book.view less
