Meet the Author

CURTIS D. CUSHMAN grew up in a Navy family but chose his profession when he found out as an undergrad at UCSB that he could get paid to go camping. He managed to travel extensively in the US, from surveying in Death Valley to observing seismic exploration offshore New Jersey. He also did retail management in San Diego County and some professional stage work and advertising.  But, there was always that call of the wild. This led to two years of living in Bobo-Dioulasso in Burkina Faso, West Africa, looking for gold and diamonds, then exploring for metals in Gabon, Central Africa. From this came “The Bobo Marché,” an eccentric mix of poetic impressions and short stories. (Available at Amazon.) He lives in Washington State where he evaluates landslide hazards and such.

HEROD’S EYES came about after a tour of Israel and the author’s enjoyment of history.
