Larry Lockridge attended Indiana University and graduated with Highest Distinction in English in 1964. He took his doctorate at Harvard in 1969, and taught in departments of English at Rutgers, Northwestern, and New York University, from which he retired in 2016 as Professor Emeritus of English. A Danforth, Woodrow Wilson, and Guggenheim Fellow, he has published books and articles on the European Romantics and critical ethics. But it is his biography of his father, Ross Lockridge, Jr., author of the1948 novel Raintree County, for which he is best known. Shade of the Raintree: The Life and Death of Ross Lockridge, Jr., was published by Viking in 1994, was nominated for the National Book Award and Pulitzer in biography, and received the MidAmerica Award. It was republished in 2014 by Indiana University Press with a new preface.
Set in nineteenth-century Indiana in a mythical county based largely on Henry County, Raintree County is still judged by a few critics to be the greatest American novel yet written. But at 1,060 pages and upstaged by a dubious MGM adaptation of 1957 starring Elizabeth Taylor, Eva Marie Saint, Lee Marvin and Montgomery Clift, it remains largely unread in the academy and elsewhere. Ross Lockridge, Jr. was himself born and raised in Bloomington, and, as “A plus Lockridge,” graduated from Indiana University in 1935, with the highest grade point average ever accumulated there. He died a suicide in 1948 at the age of thirty-three, just as his novel rose to number one on the nation’s best-seller lists. He left a wife and four children. Larry was five at the time.
Larry Lockridge tired of writing tragic narrative and in retirement began a series of satiric novels, The Enigma Quartet, to be published serially by Iguana Books, Toronto over the next two years.
The Cardiff Giant, set in Cooperstown, New York in 2003, is a satire on human gullibility, with focus on the paranormal and beliefs Carl Sagan discusses in The Demon-Haunted World. The Great Cyprus Think Tank, set in Cyprus in 2024, is a dystopian story that doesn’t give up altogether on utopian ideals. Out of Wedlock, set in Greenwich Village and Santa Fe from 1961 to 2008, tackles issues of identity, its protagonist a not altogether competent facial surgeon. And The Woman in Green, set in New Harmony, Indiana, in 1999-2000, is a satire on key aspects of American history and culture.

Bruce W. McLaughlin is a proud retired Army JAG officer and an attorney who runs his own law firm in Leesburg, Virginia.
As a criminal defense attorney falsely accused and jailed during an emotionally charged divorce, McLaughlin found himself ill-prepared for the challenges to proving his innocence. “More than 80% of abuse accusations leveled amid divorce proceedings prove to be false,” McLaughlin has since learned. He was one of the very, very few with the expertise, resources, and network necessary to eventually overturn his conviction—after spending 4 years in jail for an abhorrent crime he did not commit. Bruce’s eventual redemption allowed him to restore his law license, reputation, and life. He continues to rebuild his relationship with his four children.
Bruce McLaughlin captures his experiences and shares his lessons learned in He Said, She S.A.I.D, a cautionary tale for any parent contemplating divorce. An advocate for the falsely accused, McLaughlin focuses his general practice on helping the underdog and those unable to help themselves. He blogs about his journey to developing a thriving law practice across the street from the same courthouse that sentenced him to 13 years in prison.
Bruce lives with his family in Frederick, Maryland, and is an avid cyclist who loves to ride in the Catoctin Mountain’s foothills. He spends his free time with his family and helping recovering addicts at the local Frederick Rescue Mission transition back into the workplace.
