Autorenporträt

Walter Smith is a mostly retired scientist living with his wife, Fran, in Wellington, Florida and New Canaan, Connecticut. The Year that Didn't Exist is his third publication, his second featuring the mostly fictional Walter Stafford, introduced in The Walter Integral. Fran and Walter both enjoy horses, small dogs, children, only sometimes, grandchildren, avoiding deadly and annoying viruses, and not travelling by plane, boat, train or any form of transportation requiring more than a horse, car or your feet. Fran and Walter met and married while they were at the Tute, aka Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, in Troy, NY in the early 1970s.
