About the Author
I have taught special education in New York City for over thirty-seven years, and have been working on this for thirty-five. It is hard to finish the story of Joshua Sellers and Jesse Owens, and of that doomed race, in that doomed crossing, at that doomed time. Only recently have I come to realize why Ghost Runners is a lifetime obsession: The effects of racial or gender discrimination never end. there is no justice, no mercy for its victims.

... presently updating the prequel to Ghost Runners, a large print, savage indictment of American racism and sexism in the roaring twenties, called The White Bridge. I spend my time teaching, swimming, or driving to Maryland and Virginia to be with my growing family.It's a blessing, beyond my imaginings.
