 For
more than twenty years, Radine Trees Nehring's magazine features, essays,
newspaper articles, and radio broadcasts have been sharing colorful
stories about the people, places, events, and natural world near her
Arkansas home. She's also the author of a book of essays set in the
Ozarks. "DEAR EARTH: A Love Letter from Spring Hollow" was
published in 1995.
"Until I began to
write about Carrie McCrite, I'd dealt only in facts," she says.
"What fun it is to take those facts and the settings I love, add
people entangled in problems and seeking answers to important life questions,
and come up with mystery fiction that shares my world with readers everywhere."
 Nehring's research takes
her to the places her character go. She's visited Arkansas tourist destinations,
hiked hills and hollows, crawled through caves, spent time in jail (while
training for the jail ministry), and--as a news reporter--interviewed
officials in every branch of law enforcement. She and her husband John
live in the Arkansas Ozarks.
Nehring's major at Principia
College in Illinois was Fine Arts. She's done post-graduate work in
English and creative writing at the University of Tulsa, and in the
University of Iowa Summer Writing Program. |
