Dale Tucker, a native of California, spent much of his early childhood in Palo Alto and Fresno before his family relocated to north-central Idaho in the late 1960s. Over the next four decades, he would graduate high school, raise a family, complete a bachelor’s degree in English, and explore several career paths, including music store manager, church minister, abstract painter, and museum curator. Dale Tucker was also a college instructor and taught English as a Second Language and Adult Basic Education courses at a community college in Clarkston, Washington. He also worked in a bakery, cooked for a restaurant, pulled coffee as a barista, exhibited his fine art paintings in galleries regionally, and, for several years, organized a popular coffeehouse lecture series known as Latte Talks. 2006 marked the re-focus of Tucker’s artistic energies as he transitioned from abstract painting to literary fiction. Themes of interest to Tucker, both in painting and in writing, have been the nature of family, poverty, simplicity of living, and spirituality. Dale Tucker is now retired and spends much of his time writing, cooking, and Nature-watching at his cottage in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina. He shares a simple and happy life with his soulmate, Kathryn, and their Manx cat, Dill.
