Edward R Hackemer

Biography

Edward Hackemer lived in Western New York for 55 years before retiring and moving to North Georgia. His life experience includes nearly countless trans-Atlantic trips to Europe; employment history runs from paperboy to truck driver to the US Government Service. He spent several years overseas, is a veteran of the US Army, and happily married. He met his wife overseas, and she was naturalized after they returned to the United States. He is currently enjoying retirement with his wife, son, daughter (in-law), and two grand daughters.

During the writing of 'The Flying Phaeton', 'Dollar To Doughtnut', ' A Bridge To Cross', 'The Katydid Effect' and 'In A Cream Packard' the author drew not only from personal memories, but steeped himself in period music and culture: 1927 through 1967 rock and roll, blues, jazz, movies, television, and popular music as well as extensive research into contemporary retail products, services and prices. The novels are historically correct to the timeline of the book, with passing reference to relevant news and sports. While he drew on much of his personal memories and experiences, they were factually verified and time authenticated.
The author hopes that readers will enjoy the story as much as he enjoyed writing it.
Life is grand. Remember. That's important.
