Author Information

Dale Hartwell grew up in a house where the radio was always on, the dinner table was never quiet, and someone always had an opinion about the game last night. His father could recite World Series lineups from memory. His mother knew the words to a song before it finished the first bar. He spent years in journalism and local history, quietly collecting the stories that never made the front page but never left the people who lived them. Somewhere along the way he became obsessed with the details of ordinary American life across the decades - the cars people saved up for, the shows they never missed, the news that stopped them cold. His books are written for the generation that built the world most people take for granted. He writes for people who remember exactly where they were, and exactly how it felt. Dale lives with his wife and a dog with strong opinions about the television remote. He is currently at work on his next title.
