H. Charles “Chuck” St. Clair is a retired middle school science teacher who lives in Tidewater Virginia with his wife and five cats. He is an omnivorous reader with interests ranging from science to history and political science. It is not unusual for him to be involved in three books simultaneously. Dr. St. Clair enjoys travel, music, plays and movies. He rarely reads fiction but can recite the dialogue of the Godfather, Patton, Scent of a Woman, or Field of Dreams from memory. (However he does have problems remembering what his wife sends him to buy at the supermarket.)
