Douglas Kent grew up in the northeastern United States before moving to Dallas, Texas in 1994. He still lives in the Dallas area with his wife, two cats, and one dog. "It's Their House; I'm Just a Guest" is the first of three planned memoirs. The other books will detail his first marriage (especially the physical and mental illness his wife suffered) and his childhood (complete with alcoholism, schizophrenia, ants, and overflowing toilets).
