From the back of the book:

Tom Hicklin was born and raised in Colorado, and has had a strong interest in American history and the Civil War for as long as he can remember. After studying writing in college, he spent most of his adult life working in accounting or IT. He has since retired from the business world and, when not playing his guitar, is now concentrating on his two great passions—history and writing. He currently lives in Cincinnati with his girlfriend and partner and their two dogs.

That’s me in a nutshell. I grew up in Colorado, and that is where I spent most of my formative years. But I also lived in as varied of locales as Orlando, Florida and Seattle, Washington, before ending up in Cincinnati, Ohio where I worked for seventeen years in IT.

I’m almost sixty, so there is a lot more to the story. But, this site is not about me so much as it is about my work–Road to Antietam and those to follow. And that, dear reader, will be covered in future posts. TEH
