S. Smith is an engineer working in the Dallas area. He grew up in Waco and always considers it to be his hometown, although he hasn't lived there in about 40 years. When he is not working at his "day job" and not writing fiction, he spends his time tending to his horses, cows, chickens, dogs, cats and wife while also making wine and doting on his grandson. The genesis of this story was a challenge from his son who attended Baylor, receiving a Communication's degree with ambitions of writing. His son wasn't practicing his newfound art and being a typical Dad, S. Smith tried to encourage him by providing ideas and constantly prodding him to write, to the point of becoming a pest. He kept pitching the topic of William Cowper Brann to his son, hoping that he would take up the subject and write about it. But alas, all he did was end up pestering his son to the point where he'd finally had enough and told his father to write it himself. S. Smith accepted this challenge and this book is the result. S. Smith is hoping that this book will motivate his three sons to write about their passions. See less
