About the Author

John B. Manbeck, a former Brooklyn Borough Historian and professor of English, has written and edited books and articles on Brooklyn since the 1970s. His role in creating The Kingsborough Historical Society has been supplemented by his lectures for the New York Council for the Humanities and his role on several advisory boards. This diversion into writing fiction is a natural extension of his interest in local history.
