the universe? Strangers before the event, they learn to rely on one another in the

Author

Richard D. Pietz

The author was born in Grand Forks, North Dakota and enjoyed life as a child in the wonderful, warm and friendly small towns of the mid-American plains before his family moved to Shreveport, Louisiana when he was twelve years old. He earned his bachelor’s and his master’s from Louisiana Tech University. He served as an Air Force officer during the Vietnam conflict before returning to Shreveport where he worked as an urban planner for the city and eventually for the state government in middle management at the sprawling medical center. He retired from the state and currently resides in Louisiana where he enjoys reading and writing and attending various sporting events at his alma mater.
