Doug Finn was born 37 years ago in North Hollywood, California. Following a stint in the Air Force and three years with the Tucson Police Department, he enrolled at the University of Arizona to prepare for a career in the ministry. There, a lifelong affection for reading and writing persuaded him to transfer to the Creative Writing Program, where he received his MFA degree in 1981. Finn now lives in a mobile home surrounded by granite boulders, junipers, scrub oak, and squaw bushes in Prescott, Arizona, with his wife Kris and their two small children.
