Rick HodgesAside from his 9-to-5 writing, Rick Hodges has produced fictional works, including short stories and a stage play. He wrote his play, Three Generations of Imbeciles, based on a 1927 court case from his home state of Virginia that cleared theway for involuntary sterilisation of people with disabilities for decades before the practice was outlawed.

Rick's wife, Elenor, is executive director of a local environmental organisation and inspired him to work for a time as a grant proposal writer for The Wilderness Society. In his current job, Rick writes magazine copy for a national labor union. He lives with Elenor and his two daughters in Arlington, Virginia. Read More Read Less
