Paul McCreary grew up on farms in East-Central Illinois in the 1950s and 60s. He graduated from college as an art major with an interest in creative writing and photography and moved to Michigan to teach in 1966. After nearly 29 years there, and becoming the father of three accomplished children, he retired to Southern Indiana in 1996. He pursued art, writing, and photography, and met and married his lovely wife Becky, continuing the same interests. They moved to beautiful Ouray, Colorado, to operate a bed and breakfast. And now they split their time between Colorado and Arizona. They have long threatened to write a collaborative work of prose and poetry. The threat has come to fruition. Most of Paul’s short stories are fiction, while some are based on true events.

Becky Klein McCreary grew up on a farm in East-Central Indiana where she had freedom to wander the woods, streams, and meadows. There, her creativity took root as she connected with nature. She worked as a feature writer, photographer, and news reporter for newspapers and written communications coordinator for Ford Motor Company, but her most fulfilling career was raising her four children. Becky and Paul live, love, and laugh in Green Valley, Arizona, and Ouray, Colorado.
