I grew up in a small town in the Midwest. I married an Italian immigrant. So there is frequently a multi-cultural theme in my writing (eating vanilla ice cream as a kid, eating gelato as an adult).
My new book is called Drop and Add, a novel, published by KDP. It's the story of an adjunct English instructor taking his first job at rural technical college. He's adjunct. The money is bad. The students are under-prepared. The prospects of getting a full-time position are remote.
