Rodney V. Earle

Rodney V. Earle has been a storyteller all his life. He has told many a tall tale, even in his youth. His small-town country roots in the Midwest taught him the values and rewards of hard work, even in his later years in big-city, corporate America. He confesses to being a bit of a nomad earlier in life, but has settled in Hollywood. The motion picture industry caught his attention quickly as a photographer, progressed to short film production and direction, and morphed into writing screenplays.

“Remembering August” even started out as a screenplay about a wild, troublesome filly destined for the slaughterhouse. It eventually morphed into a fictional novel with a strong female lead (prevalent in all of his stories), and then ended up as an intricate, thrilling “saga,” set in the world of horses and ranch life, coupled with the proximity of the celebrity lifestyle.

Rodney’s influences include a mixture of the simple realism of John Steinbeck, the “off-center” style of Stephen King, a generous dose of Victor Hugo-style humanity, and the timeless romanticism of William Shakespeare.

“Remembering August” is the first installment of the “Triple C Ranch Saga,” set in the rural outskirts of Simi Valley, celebrity-filled Malibu, and suburban Thousand Oaks, California.
