Chuck Hughes

Darcy Miller About the author Chuck Hughes was born in Waynesboro, Virginia on a crisp September morning. He spent his teens in the Shenandoah Valley amid the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains until his seventeenth birthday when he joined the U.S. Navy and trained as a Hospital Corpsman. Twenty years later, he traded Navy blue for jeans and sneakers and entered the Medical University of South Carolina’s Physician Assistant program. After graduation, he entered the University of NC, at Charlotte (UNCC) where he received a BA in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Education. His life’s experiences, which include tours of duty on a Ballistic Missile submarine, six years with the Marine Corps, a side trip to Vietnam and twenty-five years as a Physician Assistant in acute psychiatry, ingrained in him a lingering curiosity about the human psyche. Once in the golden years of life’s adventure, he found the daring and freedom to allow his curiosity to rove freely in the land of, What If! This is where, one dreary evening, Darcy Miller was born. It is his contention that Darcy Miller may haunt us all at one time of another.
