About the Author

Hello Readers; I'm Clay, and my entry into the world of writing was as unplanned. It began as a challenge to my son, who was at a crossroads after his military service, trying to find his footing. He had this incredible talent for storytelling and music that just needed a little nudge. To light that spark, I took to writing a children's Christmas story titled "Snow Way Out," and together we explored the twists and turns of its creation. While my son decided to walk a different path, I unexpectedly found myself captivated by the craft of writing.That first story set the stage for a whirlwind year where I penned over ten stories, all ready to greet readers by the end of 2019. I started with picture books-stories that danced to the rhythm of verse-and now I'm venturing into the realm of middle-grade fiction, with new adventures on the horizon starting this December.My home is a cozy homestead in the heart of East Tennessee where my wife and I live among a playful quartet of dogs, a rather content cat, and a lively flock of 90 chickens. When the pen rests, you might find me tending to our garden, casting a line into a peaceful stream, or shaping wood into something new.Books, to me, are like those chickens in our yard-each starts with a simple idea and grows into something to be shared with the world. And just like those chickens, each story has its own journey. When a reader takes a moment to leave a review, it's like getting a letter from afar, letting me know how my stories are faring out there in the wide world.If you happen to dive into one of my books and it resonates with you, I'd be honored if you shared your thoughts in a review. It's more than feedback; it's the connection between author and reader that keeps the story alive.Warm regards, Clay

HILARIOUS book! Would recommend!

My brother and sister LOVED this book! We read it the night before thanksgiving and they thought it was hilarious. Rhyming was smart, and didn't dumb down for the kids, and the illustrations were beautiful. I love the author's style and will continue to follow them, and check out the new things they put out.
