Hillstrom, aka Ken, was born to a large and loving farm family in Northern Michigan where his first credentials for writing this book was reading all of the books in his school’s closet-sized library. At age fourteen his family sold the farm and moved to Detroit where he began blue collar work as a soda jerk and later a factory worker while steadily reading. Next came military service and after his discharge as a staff sergeant several years as a merchant mariner to see some of the world and save money for college including graduate school. After earning the two degrees along with the honor of a Phi Beta Kappa key he became a career counselor at his university that brought about a published book by a New York publisher about finding suitable work after college, then subsequently settled into thirty-plus years of enjoyable employment himself as a technical writer-editor and manager at two corporations and NASA while also occasionally teaching writing as a part-time adjunct professor at two community colleges and the University of Houston.view less
