Luick, Lynn: - The author was born in Oregon but now lives in Texas with his wife. He has two daughters and three grandchildren. He worked in a grocery store where he met his wife. Then he had his own distributing business for 15 years and retired and started writing for enjoyment. When you enjoy anything it never feels like work. So he writes more and more. He and his wife travel to some of the places he writes about to get the lay of the land and research as they travel.
