Award-winning Arkansas writer and journalist Radine Trees Nehring and her husband, photographer John Nehring, live in the rural Arkansas Ozarks near Gravette.

Nehring’s writing awards include the Governor’s Award for Best Writing about the State of Arkansas, Tulsa Nightwriter of the Year Award, and the Dan Saults Award, which is given by the Ozarks Writers League for nature- or Ozarks-value writing. The American Christian Writers named Nehring Christian Writer of the Year in 1998, and the Oklahoma Writers Federation, Inc., named her book, Dear Earth, Best Non-Fiction Book and her novel, A Valley to Die For, Best Mystery Novel.

Research for her many magazine and newspaper features and her weekly radio program, Arkansas Corner Community News, has taken the Nehrings throughout the state. For more than twenty years Nehring has written non-fiction about unique people, places, and events in Arkansas. Now, in her Something to Die For mystery series, she adds appealing characters fighting for something they believe in and, it turns out, for their very lives.
