Author Bio:
I am a retired large animal veterinarian having graduated from Iowa State University in May of 1970. My wife Krystal and I were married on June 18, 1970 and presently live on our farm near Dyersville, Iowa not far from the famous "Field of Dreams" movie site. Our four children and their families have followed their careers to various parts of the United States, so much of our time is spent traveling to visit them, their spouses and our ten wonderful grandchildren. Krystal and I decided to use our time during the Covid pandemic to pursue our creative interests; incorporating her art and my writing to tell the untold story of the pioneers that settled northeast Iowa. The result was our first book, "Last of the Wild", the response to which surprised and overwhelmed us. We have just published the second in the series,"The Search". This narrative extends the families' story to the next generation and details their struggles as they try to establish their place in the new land. We felt it was important to tell this story and hope our readers continue to enjoy it.
