Homer Hickam (also known as Homer H. Hickam, Jr.) is the author of the # 1 New York Times best-selling memoir Rocket Boys. Carrying Albert Home, his latest (and a national best-seller), is somewhat of a prequel to that work but, as he says, "somewhat not." He is also the author of the popular "Josh Thurlow" and "Crater" series. Among his many writing awards, he has received the University of Alabama's Clarence Cason Award and the Appalachian Heritage Writer's Award for his memoirs and fiction plus an honorary Doctorate of Literature from Marshall University.
