Alric Bolt was born in Indiana, but grew up in southern California. He currently lives in Nappanee , Indiana; the heart of Amish country. Sharing his home and limited sanity with 8 lovely women, age 7 to 30-something, has taught him a great deal about patience and rather more about the value of silence. He'll occasionally seek out the dozen or so rabbits, pigs, turtles, and other more respectful co-habitants for a more sympathetic audience.

For relaxation he works as a technician and data administrator, but has previously worked in fields as wide ranging as a systems specialist for IBM and an exotic animal importer for several zoos. A new photography business is rapidly growing by word of mouth, and filling up weekends with portraits, events, and weddings (great practice for all those daughters!).
