Cas Roberts

Award winning Cas Roberts, resides in Lincoln Co., Kentucky. Cas was raised in a cabin of hewed logs in the Appalachian mountains of Wayne Co., Kentucky having eight siblings. At thirteen, he was learning the logging and sawmill trades. At the age of fourteen, the family relocated from the mountain home to Pulaski County, Kentucky. In later years he took the migration trail into the northern state of Indiana for a job.Two marriages have resulted in six lovely children.

After spending near twenty years in Indiana he returned to Lincoln County, Kentucky.

Cas brings to the pages a way of life some know, few have seen, and all can relate.

Today retired, Cas spends his time in the outdoors as much as possible. Family takes up most of his time. He still owns the Kentucky Mountain Horse for pleasure. Much of his time is spent on writing.

"By writing the book of poetry, Appalachian Poetry, I try to preserve the old mountain way of life as it was. As Country As It Gets, is a combination of work in short stories, poems, and pictures. This Old Barn, If this old barn could speak, is short stories, poems, and picture quotes. They are personal experiences that I witnessed over many years in my lifetime; my main goal being to preserve our Appalachian heritage."

Now we add our book files, Appalachian Life, Living With Lung Cancer. Its poetry and short stories written while living with and battling lung cancer. Witness the ups and downs cancer can have on a persons mind and body as we write our feelings in poem lyrics. May God bless all the people that lives and deals with cancer.
