Radine Trees Nehring's award-winning writing career began when she fell in love with the Arkansas Ozarks and wanted to tell people why. Her essays and feature articles about the people, places, and events in her adopted state began selling almost immediately to magazines and newspapers. Her non-fiction book about homesteading in the Ozarks, EAR EARTH: A Love Letter from Spring Hollow, was released in New York in 1995. The first book in her Carrie and Henry "To Die For" amateur detective series came out in 2002, rapidly drawing fans into the mysterious Ozarks. Solving Peculiar Crimes adds intriguing and unique Carrie and Henry short stories to that series. Radine is a member of Sisters in Crime, Mystery Writers of America, and Authors Guild. She was the chosen inductee into the Arkansas Writers Hall of Fame in 2011.
