Doug Stanfield Comments

Doug, writing under the poetic pen name Hemmingplay, spent his early life as a child. He later worked as a fraud investigator, and then as a reporter and editor at two newspapers. He retired from a university’s communications unit IT office in 2015. Earlier jobs included construction, teaching, and a couple of small businesses. His desire to write fiction and poetry never really went away. When the kids were safely off making their own mistakes, he returned to writing poetry and fiction.
