Grant Handgis was born in Marietta, Georgia, in 1948. The front of the baby-boom curve, the last to realize it. The author grew up as an Air Force brat, realizing ever new and exciting locations and cultures, which assisted directly in shaping the author's interesting sense of humor. His first publication came at age twelve when one of his anecdotes was published in Boy's Life. After a tour of duty in the military he married and had children. Then a divorce and a life as a single parent, which makes extremely rich material for books. After a thirty year career in photography, which happened to be the author's vocation, he is currently entertaining his avocation of writing. The author has completed six books. More books are on the way.
