He is an instructor of design and of architectural hstory at the New York School of Design, with a special passion for American wood-framed architecture, of which the protagonist in this novel is a glowing example. He edits the biannual scholarly journal of design and material culture, Nineteenth Century, published by the Victorian Society of America. He has studied framing houses, restoring historic homes, and, with his co-author/wife Susan, used the same tools Simon Peale would have used to build a timber-framed structure for their son's wedding.view less
