Loretta Creech was born in Hazard Kentucky, a small town in the center of Eastern Kentucky. "I love the people of Eastern Kentucky and can honestly say I am proud to be a hillbilly." She now lives in Lexington Kentucky where she has lived since leaving Eastern Kentucky University in 1972 where she met and married a boy from the central Kentucky region. She has two wonderful sons from her marriage. "Writing has always been my hobby and I grew up listening to the stories of the mountains. This was my first published book but I am working on another. My first book "No Tears for Ernest Creech" is a true story of the death of my father in 1965, killed during a picket strike in leatherwood, Ky. My mother, Gladys, passed away in 2011 without knowing who took the life of her husband leaving her to raise her ten children on her own. This book was written for her because I saw the hardships she endured through the years after my father's death trying to raise her last children alone.
