About the Author

I've been trying to write all my life because I've enjoyed reading all my life. My little brother and two sisters got the benefit of first efforts, but the stories never measured up to Tom Sawyer or Winnie the Pooh, so I changed to writing advertising copy and newpaper reporting. In 1982, between jobs, I decided to take a whole year and write this book. It took that year to do the first draft and the next seventeen years to get it right. I owe many people thanks, but it was my writer's grtoup that doggedly insisted that I do it over and over until it was really a novel. I am 73 years old and have been a farmer, a soldier, a sheet metal worker, fine artist/commercial artist, copywriter and news reporter. I have also been a teacher and story teller, a husband and most important, the father of two fine children.
