Armed with the knowledge that his second grade teacher always liked
his stories and poems, Ray Blackston walked away from the
corporate cubicle, bought a laptop, said a prayer, and began typing
the first words of Flabbergasted. He does not recommend this

Ray Blackston worked as a stock buyer and a broker for eleven years before cashing in his modest 401k and leaving his corporate cubicle to write full time. He is the author of several books and lives in Greenville, South Carolina.
