About the Book

The author grew up in Arkansas. He spent his first nine years living beside a dirt road in Waldron; the next eight years at an orphanage in Monticello. During the Vietnam War years, he completed a four year stint in the US Navy. Part of his tour was the Naval Communications Station on Guam, MI, a small island in the south Pacific, a US territory. The remainder of his tour was in California and Texas. The author's first real job came when a man in Arkansas, instead of hiring him, handed him a business card and challenged him to drive 300 miles to Dallas, Texas.

But she didn't. Instead, she picked up a flyer lying on her desk. "Why don't you go ahead and enroll and take this writing class." Sometime later, the instructor gave the class an assignment. "Write me a half-page, single-spaced article about something original," he said. That night the author labored over what to write and finally settled on a short story he titled, "The Greatest Work of Art". It described the creation of man from the author's point of view. A couple of days later, the instructor gave the papers back to the students. Across the top of the author's paper was written, A Very Good! The author lost the paper in one of his many moves, but later resurrected the story in a poem; the title, you guessed it, "The Greates
