Richard Adams Carey was born in Connecticut and educated at Harvard College. He worked at a sawmill in Washington’s Cascade Mountains, then taught school in the Alaskan Bush and published his first book, Raven’s Children, about Alaska’s little-known Kuskokwim region. His second, Against the Tide, chronicles the lives of several Cape Cod commercial fishermen at a time of cataclysmic change in their way of life. He is also the author of In the Evil Day, which describes the onset and impact of a mass-shooting in a small New England town. His short fiction, essays, and book reviews have appeared in a variety of national publications. He lives with his wife in Sandwich, New Hampshire.
