WOLF

Husband, father, grandfather, and oldest sibling of eight, Wes Blauss is a retired middle school teacher who began his writing career in grade school. He wrote bad poetry in college, adapted classics for school and community theater productions, including "Robin Hood," "The Three Musketeers," and "The Monkey King," and schemed up murder mysteries such as "End of the Season," "Sons of Israel," "Murder at Town Meeting," and "Final Impressions." But it wasn't until he stopped correcting science essays, igniting hydrogen, and making his students memorize Dylan Thomas, that he found the time to tackle mature themes in history and fiction—racism, gender bias, science denial, climate change, aging, and more. But the wary reader will still stumble onto the occasional vorpal sword, yellow wood, or range on range of hills in Wes's writing, for, as Wordsworth says, "The child IS father of the man."
