He attended Arkansas State University where he graduated with a major in Radio/TV Journalism and a minor in Newspaper. As a retired broadcaster for the Illinois Farm Bureau, he turned his attention toward writing novels. His first book, Two From Tennessee, was published in January 2006 and is fiction but based on his own real-life experiences growing up in the cotton fields of southeast Missouri. Renegade Re is also fiction, but here Gary created a story that takes place a world away from rural life. It’s a complex mystery of twists and turns that takes place mainly in London and Paris and centers around the hostile takeover attempt by a small U.S. company of an international conglomerate.
Gary and his wife, Linda, now make their home in the Southwest Missouri Ozarks.view less
