Scott Huler was born in 1959 in
Cleveland and raised in that city's eastern suburbs. He graduated from
Washington University in 1981; he was made a member of Phi Beta Kappa because
of the breadth of his studies, and that breadth has been a signature of his
writing work. He has written on everything from the death penalty to bikini
waxing, from NASCAR racing to the stealth bomber, for such newspapers as the New
York Times, the Washington Post, the Philadelphia Inquirer,
and the Los Angeles Times and such magazines as Backpacker, Fortune,
and Child. His award-winning radio work has been heard on "All Things
Considered" and "Day to Day" on National Public Radio and on "Marketplace" and
"Splendid Table" on American Public Media. He has been a staff writer for the Philadelphia
Daily News and the Raleigh News & Observer and a staff reporter
and producer for Nashville Public Radio. He was the founding and managing
editor of the Nashville City Paper. He has taught at such colleges as
Berry College and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and sometimes
serves as guest host on "The State of Things" on WUNC-FM.
No-Man's Lands is his fifth
book; his work has also been included in such compilations as Appalachian
Adventure and in such anthologies as The Appalachian Trail Reader
and Speed: Stories of Survival from Behind the Wheel.
He lives in Raleigh, North
Carolina, with his wife, the writer June Spence; they have a son and another
child on the way.
