Early Life
Douglas was raised in Forest Hills, Queens, New York, where he produced his first book, a translation to English of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam in prose (1971) and after forty years of keeping over three hundred quatrains hiding from the public eye, he published his philosophical verses under the title Quatrains: Echoes of Existence (2024).
Douglas used pseudonyms for various writings for reasons better guessed than told, such as Mark T. Wayne, which he used on the works he edited and republished, some of which are History’s Golden Ages, The Religion of Woman, Religious Intoxication, and The Modern Thought. His novel Love and Beyond (2003) was published under the name Christopher Douglas, while Wind Whispers (poetry) was released under Exantus.
