R Douglas HackneyR. Douglas Hackney draws from his experiences working at a residential school for the blind as a vocational rehabilitation counselor. He has been writing poems and stories since childhood, publishing in high school and college journals and agency newletters, and has recorded an album of original songs, A Single Essence. The It Always Rains on Wednesday trilogy is his first work of fiction. His varied work experience as a grocery clerk, carpenter, vineyard manager, minister, and truck driver provides a rich background for his writing. Growing up in Richmond, Virginia, he went on to earn degrees from University of Richmond, Eastern Mennonite Seminary, and a master's of rehabilitation counseling from Virginia Commonwealth University. Married with five children, he enjoys reading, hiking, canoeing, camping, folk music, and tinkering with his 1933 Dodge. Read More Read Less
