Kip N. Willis got himself bit by the writing bug in his teens and hasn't slowed down since, crafting stories about animals, religion, politics, and humorous situations. Eventually, Willis settled down into life as a farmer/rancher in southern Arizona. There, he grew cotton, hay, grain, cows, dogs, and children. But he never lost his love for the written word. Along with maintaining extensive personal journals, Willis has penned many colorful accounts of farm life. His fondness for writing cowboy poetry has proved an entertaining boon to anyone with whom he's ever shared a campfire. And what he characterizes as a natural instinct for getting clobbered has provided an abundance of rich fodder just crying out to be turned into stories. Willis lives on his little farm with his schoolmarm wife in Hyder, where it's hot enough in the summer to bake brains and dehydrate souls. He has a great family, is a friend to everyone, and has that rare ability to make everyone he meets feel comfortable in his presence....
