WEST COAST AUTHORS INTERVIEWS AUTHOR KEVIN GERARD

Kevin Gerard lives in San Diego, California, with his wife and four boys. He teaches sociology and statistics for the California State University. After running three companies and working a variety of jobs, Mr. Gerard returned to school and earned a master's degree in sociology from Humboldt State University. He returned to San Diego after completing the program and worked with two professional research organizations over the next seven years. In 2004, Mr. Gerard resigned from the second position in order to pursue a writing career. While still teaching at the university, he spends the bulk of his time writing for publication. The Crossworlds series provided the main impetus for his decision to permanently extricate himself from formal employment.
