Biographie de l'auteur

Retired School Teacher, and Labor Arbitrator, Howard D'Spain spent much of his childhood between Marshall and Cisco, Texas. He played in east Texas swamps and often accompanied his mother on the T&P Railroad to visit his grandparents in Cisco. These activities created a life-long love of railroads and their histories. Wife, Sara D'Spain, was a student journalist and studied creative writing. After creating and publishing "Practitioners Guide To Labor Arbitration," the D'Spains turned to their personal interests in railroads and history for their next writing venture and "Like A Bolt" was born. A follow-up, "Hard Water" is currently in production. The authors met in Anchorage, Alaska. They currently have a home base in Mesa, Arizona, where they keep trying to teach their two older dogs new tricks and where, like the swallows to Capistrano, they return to spend the winter months.
