About Us

Harry D Cuffage is a third-generation American who grew up in a family of fourteen. His early life was shaped by a unique blend of challenges and influences. Raised alongside nine siblings, his household also included his parents, a maternal grandmother, and an uncle. His father, a tenant farmer, had limited formal education, while his mother came from a middle-class background and pursued education beyond high school. This contrast between his parents’ worlds deeply influenced Harry’s outlook on life.

Growing up in poverty, Harry experienced firsthand the struggles of being looked down upon by peers in wealthier suburban schools. Despite these challenges, he was determined to rise above his circumstances. After completing his education, Harry dedicated 35 years to civil service in the Federal government, where he steadily climbed the ranks to hold high-level positions. His journey continued in the private sector for another decade before retiring for the second time.

A devoted single father, Harry raised his three children from a young age, instilling in them the values of hard work, education, and self-reliance. After retiring, Harry embraced writing as his third career. A LOT OF PEOPLE SLEPT HERE marks his debut as an author, blending personal narrative, historical reflection, and life lessons.

Harry’s story is a testament to perseverance, personal growth, and a deep-rooted belief in the power of education and character. Through his writing, he hopes to inspire others to embrace resilience and find strength in their own journeys.
