About

I live with my girlfriend Irene Fusco in Manhattan, just above the East Village. Irene anchors my life with love, support, and an invigorating environment for my writing. While some writers thrive in the adversarial, I prefer a placid environment and keeping the angst in my stories.

My home of record remains with my youngest daughter, Jessie Perron, in Bedford, New Hampshire. New Hampshire also houses my children Curtis Perron, Dawnmarie Brown-McGowan, and Brian Brown, while second-youngest Stephanie Perron lives cross-continent in Oakland, California.

Irene and I love trekking and traveling, so you are as likely to find us in the mountains of Switzerland or Peru as those of New York and New Hampshire. Regrettably the pandemic curtails these activities.

In my writing, I like to step into other people’s shoes, but themes and settings fall back on my personal experience: formative years in rural New Hampshire; college and current years in New York City; Vietnam-era military service including 13 months on the Korean DMZ; a career in computers along the Greater Boston technology corridor; and extensive travel in the Americas, Europe, and Asia.
