Autorenporträt

Tony Wade came to Fairfield in 1976 and never left. In 2006, Wade began writing columns for the Daily Republic and became an accidental historian when he started "Back in the Day." Wade has written three previous books, and his hope for this book is that it's a number-one Merchant Street Bestseller. Wade's only picture in the Vacaville Reporter did not make the cut for this book. He lives in Fairfield with his wife, Beth, and their Chiweenie, Chunky Tiberius Wade. Reach him at [e-mail].
