Ian Evans

Ian Evans was born in England, grew up in South Africa, and now lives in Honolulu. He’s Professor Emeritus of clinical psychology and has taught in universities in Hawaii, upstate New York, and New Zealand. He loves to write in humorous style about psychologically plausible and likeable people, but with back stories addressing important social issues. He has published four novels and has learned to accept but never welcome rejection. If someone says they enjoyed one of his books or stories—which is their purpose—he is childishly happy.

Bombs Gone

My best friend when we were growing up in Hamilton, New Zealand, was Stephen Walker. The only thing we had in common was that we were both born on D-Day, 1944, just a little ahead of the baby boom. I liked camping, fishing, swimming, cricket, and riding my bike. Stephen liked playing the piano, reading, and listening to Ray Conniff records. But we were mates and during school vacations I spent my time at his house.
