A.K. Tate is a retired nurse who spends part of the year in the U.S., and part of the year in the tropics. Born and raised as a military brat, he considers himself a resident earthling, thus many places he calls “home”.
His greatest influences are his Dad, whom he calls his professor of life, emeritus; and his late granddad, Johnnie Lawson who was the voice of exceptional common sense. As an avid student of American history, he will often write with a provocative and hopefully, objective style.
