About the Author

I love studying U.S. History and World History. And I collect minerals and fossils. I have written a sardonic series of books called, The Chronicles of the Prairie Dog Nation, which is about a colony of intelligent, walking, talking prairie dogs that have their very own country north of Amarillo, Texas
