About me

Dale Tucker is a writer of literary fiction who enjoys solitude, nature, and cooking. His subject matter falls within the shared experiences, moral sensitivities, spirituality and hopes of common American people. These characteristics are, of course, broad in range and universal in some aspects but they are also, in other ways, unique to Americans. Tucker's aim is to elevate the heroism of the under- and working classes to the the position it deserves. Every day there are miracles performed by mothers and grandmothers, fathers and brothers, and by a myriad of invisible individuals who model bravery and exceptionality of character to those who know them. These are those Tucker chooses to write about, not the celebrated and "great".
