About the Author
T. M. Brown is a Southern boy at heart, although he's lived and traveled in many states far removed from his beloved boyhood roots in Georgia and Florida. After he returned he reconnected with the small towns throughout the South. He retired outside of Atlanta where he and his wife retired. When not wriitng, they travel and spoil grandchildren. T. M. Brown, Mike to friends and family, embraces his Georgia heritage, thanks to the paternal branches of his family tree. When his father passed in 2008, he learned of the hard times and sacrifice the Brown family endured during the Depression, which precipitated his grandfather leaving Georgia to find work in Miami. Mike holds fond memories of warm Sunday afternoons when his Pop drove the family past Stone Mountain in the late 1950s to visit his Great-Uncle's farm in Snellville. Those dust-filled red clay backroads have long been widened and paved, but Mike recalls the sting of barb-wire pasture fences, sipping cool well-water from a ladle, and getting scrubbed in a washtub as a youngster by the front stoop of Uncle Kerry's and Aunt Monk's old farmhouse. MIke loves family, faith, history, and small-town, rural stories.
