Christian
McLean spent the majority of his childhood summers up and down the Forks of
Long Island. After receiving his degree in English from Hobart College, he moved
to Belize where he happened upon Nelson DeMille’s
Plum Island. The book summoned up the summer scenes of his boyhood and became
the catalyst for Duckhampton,
though the first draft wasn’t written until a year later, while receiving his
Masters degree at Saint Andrews, Scotland. When he graduated he returned to
America, settling in Flanders, NY, where, in the shadow of the Big Duck the
story was revised and perfected. Eventually he migrated east to Shelter Island,
where he now lives.
