Interview with Author – Sam Sackett

After getting my doctorate from UCLA, I taught for 23 years at Fort Hays (KS) State University. At the end of that time I had burned out, so I left teaching. I worked first for a newspaper, then an advertising agency, and then a public relations firm. Having by that time become an expert on career change, I spent 15 years in the career management field. When I retired in 2003, I moved to Thailand and spent most of my time writing. I returned to the U.S. in 2009 with five book manuscripts, which I've been publishing one a year since then. The first was Sweet Betsy from Pike, a historical novel of the gold rush based on the ballad of the same name; next came The Robin Hood Chronicles, a half-serious attempt to re-create in fiction the reality that may underlie the legend; then Adolf Hitler in Oz, a comic fantasy satire; and most recently Huckleberry Finn Grows Up, a sequel to Mark Twain's classic. Still to come in Rabbi Yeshua, a fictional biography of the man Christians call Jesus.
