Gerald Randolph Revelle was born in Ohio in 1941. Growing up in Missouri’s Bootheel, "Jerry" has written fiction since the third grade, but didn’t take publishing seriously before the age of 60. Then, photo-journalism, short stories and articles began to appear…most specializing in his Scandinavian heritage including two novels, one published (My Enemy's Child) and another in final editing.The only son of a second generation Swedish emigrant mother and a southern father, Scandinavian folklore sometimes bubbles over his southern soul and blues harmonica playing. As he says, when suddenly digressing while fiddling a Swedish schottische: “…my catfish are swimming with the lutefisk again.” As a instrument-rated pilot and businessman Jerry still finds time to folkdance, fiddle, fish and photograph and loves writing about them all. He studied English and drama at the University of Minnesota-Minneapolis in the ’60s but has worked exclusively in the field of engineering and technology, both in the US and abroad, since. These years included stints on a couple Apollo projects.
