After finishing Midway Dreams my niece, Melissa Shew Toutant, who teaches elementary school in Lexington, Kentucky, asked my sister Rhonda if she could help us write the next book in the Midway series. When Rhonda told me that Melissa wanted to help write Midway Barrel Racing Champion, I was delighted. Melissa had already developed our prototype stuffed animal, and like Rhonda, was an excellent elementary teacher. Rhonda and Melissa have spent a lot of time together while Melissa was growing up, and they love each other so much and exchange ideas very well together. Again, I was pleasantly surprised to have Melissa on board and really have enjoyed working with Rhonda and Melissa on our second children’s book. Rhonda has been at Kit Carson Elementary School in Richmond, Kentucky, for most of her adult life. She earned her master’s degree in English from the Bread Loaf School of English, a summer graduate program at Middlebury College in Vermont and her master’s in elementary education from Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond, Kentucky. Rhonda has served in writing-leadership positions at the local, regional, and state levels. She has also presented at writing conferences at the local, state, national, and international levels. Rhonda is anxiously awaiting the birth of her second grandson in 2016 while enjoying her first grandson, Aiden. Melissa also graduated from Eastern Kentucky University and earned her master’s degree in elementary education from EKU. Melissa teaches at Athens-Chilesburg Elementary School on the outskirts of Lexington, Kentucky, in Fayette County. Melissa is the proud mother of two children, Abby and Levi. Our family is proud of Melissa and Rhonda. I always tell folks that I have an entrepreneurial spirit. I enjoyed working for my father, Randall, at a local newspaper for twelve years, including high school and college. Dad taught me the “common sense” approach to running a business, and I am thankful. I became a certified public accountant to stay close to my family, who lived in central Kentucky after leaving the newspaper business in 1982. I have assisted friends and business associates develop small businesses for the last thirty-five years and have enjoyed life to the fullest. With the release of Midway Barrel Racing Champion our labor of love will continue Midway’s journey of encouraging young girls and boys to read for a lifetime and dream big dreams. Roll Tide!
