About the Author

Dr. Jeff Pouncey, a clinically trained child neuropsychologist, believes that no medium is out of bounds when conveying one's history, heritage, identity, and self-awareness; hence, the historical fiction story - Midnight Tear. Dr. Pouncey's training in psychology and the neurosciences with children, adults, as well as society's "elders" in skilled nursing hospitals, has prompted him to realize that one's life experiences and social identity are not locked in the stages of growth and development, but the experiences that bridge the transition between the stages. Dr. Pouncey seizes every opportunity to bring awareness to the connection of one's social, economic, and emotional well-being to their mental well-being: especially when society intrudes on that sense of well-being. In addition to Midnight Tear, Dr. Pouncey writes children's stories, non-fiction, social and scientific essays, and has completed a well-received research-dissertation study: "Acute Effects of Anesthesia on Attention in Pediatric Patients." He is the co-owner and operator of a consulting business and teaches undergraduate behavioral health and neuroscience classes.
