Snowflakes & Ashes

Doug Stanfield is the son of a teacher and a nurse who grew up on a family farm in western Ohio. The family moved overseas for a couple of years, and he has moved around since. He has had a few disreputable occupations, including being a newspaper reporter and editor, and worked in public relations at a major university, but is trying to atone for his sins with poetry that tells stories, and stories that read like poems. His desire to write poetry never went away, and when his sons were off making their own mistakes, he turned on the computer, stared at the screen for a long time, and began again. Doug, recently widowed, lives in central Pennsylvania with his dog and an unhealthy obsession with politics, murder mysteries, science fiction and travel.
