About the Author
Kent D. Walsh ("Uncle Kent") was born in Minot, North Dakota but grew up in Vancouver, Washington. As a youngster he spent most of his time exploring the tree-covered banks of a small stream called Burnt Bridge Creek. His imagination helped him begin writing short stories and poetry when he was in his early twenties and he has enjoyed the process ever since. With an abundance of nieces and nephews, it was natural that he use the nickname "Uncle Kent" for his writing. Although his job as a Branch Manager for a large real estate firm keeps him very busy, he still occasionally finds time to enjoy his hobbies of fishing, the outdoors, golf, and singing. The author was inspired by his loving wife, Madeline, to begin publishing his work. The couple lives in rural Washington State and this is the author's second published book. He cordially invites readers to visit his website.
