Rea Keech has been a teacher all his life. He was Professor of English at Anne Arundel Community College from 1978 to 2013. Before that he taught at the University of South Carolina, Voorhees College, the University of Tehran, and at schools in Japan, and Greece. He served in the Peace Corps in Iran from 1967 to 1969. He says he wrote his first novel, A HUNDRED VEILS, to celebrate the warmth and kindness of the Iranian people who befriended him there. He has lived in Severna Park, Maryland, since 1980 and loves to walk down to the Severn River and occasionally go for a sail in his small boat. Still, he remembers what life was like for the people he knew in poorer countries, in the third world, as they call it. He taught international students for many years and heard their stories. Refugees arrived in his class after the war in Vietnam and Cambodia. Later some of his students were fleeing the fighting in Afghanistan. He found the stories of some of them heartbreaking. He sometimes finds it comical when Americans complain about minor inconveniences and even feels embarrassed to hear them talk disparagingly about immigrants. In FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS he wanted to draw a satirical picture of contemporary American society. It is the first of a planned three-novel series. Book reviews by Rea and his complete Twitter novel can be found on his publisher's website, realnicebooks.com
