Art Smith lives in central Missouri with his wife Amanda. Having lived nearly sixty years, Art is still trying to figure out what he wants to be when he grows up. Working with computers has best supported his various habits so far, but that hardly counts, right? In addition to writing, for eleven months out of the year, Art also enjoys studio photography, playing tuba with the ShowMe Brass, listening to live music, reading, and playing various tabletop and role-playing games. November, though, is devoted to NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month, from which this novel was born-more at www.nanowrimo.org). Uncommon Counsel is Art's first published novel.
