Chuck grew up in upstate New York's Finger Lakes traipsing around old Iroquois hunting and burial grounds and hearing stories. His adult life has seen him move from secondary school teacher of lit., phil., psych., & the humanities in Switzerland to denizen of an Irish island, where he writes poems and stories every morning, reads for radio in the USA and Ireland, &, afternoons, prowls cliff & cave & rabbit track.

Reviews
A. J. Cotter, Southern Star: 'Kruger writes in a chatty, intimate style, very much in the vein of a storyteller and his boyish delight in the little differences of Cape, make this book a delight. . . .'
Suzanne Crosbie, Irish Examiner: 'This book could well become a classic, or at the very least, an indispensable contribution to island lore.'
Dick Hogan, Irish Times: 'Chuck Kruger is a poet and a writer. . . . The island drew him to it and urged him to put down his thoughts.. . . . [The book]. . . is worth having, if only to enjoy the author's own and very obvious enjoyment at being where he is.'
Books Ireland: "A neat and worthy production...."
Condee Reviews: "...apart from being a fascinating and beautifully written book, it is an affirmation of why he is there....This is a little gem of a book."
