Edward Ifkovic taught literature and creative writing at a community college in Connecticut for over three decades. His short stories and essays have appeared in the ""Village Voice, America, Hartford Monthly"", and ""Journal of Popular Culture"". A longtime devotee of mystery novels, he fondly recalls discovering Erle Stanley Gardner's 'Perry Mason' series in a family bookcase.
