Elton Renfroe is a native Texan who worked for thirty years at a small college in New Jersey, retiring as vice-president. Since retirement in 1995, he has written during the day and spent his nights visited by vivid dreams filled with drama, mirth, terror or consolation. With elaborate plot lines, his dreams recruit characters from his real life and sometimes long-forgotten acquaintances. He sleeps in the Hudson Valley with Bobbie, his first and only wife of more then fifty years.
