About the Author:

Born in Georgia, graduate of Auburn University, graphic designer and watercolor painter; married with four children and ten grandchildren. Two of my children are professional illustrators, one is a silversmith amd a daughter-in-law is a graphic designer as well. I live in suburban St. Louis with my wife and a dog and elderly cat. The message tree in The Thong Tree existed in a specific rural Missouri location until loggers recently clear-cut it! (Such trees still stand in many forested areas of the East, South and Midwest.)
