Ken Conklin, a native of Los Angeles, lives in southwestern Virginia. He is the author of NORVEL: An American Hero. His essays have been published in the Roanoke Times and other publications such as the Victoria Advocate, Easy Reader, and Microwave Journal. Most of his poems have been unpublished and unseen until now. A few contained in this book such as Leaving Fourth Street and Agent Orange have won awards in local poetry contests. Although always a writer, Ken made his living in the technology industry as a business development and general management executive. In those roles he had the opportunity to travel throughout North America, Europe, and Asia. The experiences from those travels inform his writing. Aside from working on his next book, Ken and his wife enjoy spending time with their family and friends, going to live music events, golfing, and hiking the beautiful trails of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains. Ken continues, however, to root for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
