Raised in a tiny Alaskan fishing village, educated at Yale Univerrsity, Derek Ivan Webster is a writer that appreciates a good contrast. When not shepherding students, Derek is prone to the occasional burst of fiction, be it literary or genre, supported by his MFA in creative writing from Fairfield University. Each day Derek becomes more aware that it is only his wife, and their precious/precocious co-conspirators, that afford any hope for his sanity.
