About the author
Radine Trees Nehring
13 books23 followersFor more than twenty years, Radine Trees Nehring's magazine features, essays, newspaper articles, and radio broadcasts have been sharing colorful stories about the people, places, events, and natural world near her Arkansas home. She's also the author of a book of essays set in the Ozarks. "DEAR EARTH: A Love Letter from Spring Hollow" was published in 1995.
"Until I began to write about Carrie McCrite, I'd dealt only in facts," she says. "What fun it is to take those facts and the settings I love, add people entangled in problems and seeking answers to important life questions, and come up with mystery fiction that shares my world with readers everywhere."
Nehring's research takes her to the places her characters go. She's visited Arkansas tourist destinations, hiked hills and hollows, crawled through caves, spent time in jail (while training for the jail ministry), and--as a news reporter--interviewed officials in every branch of law enforcement. She and her husband John live in the Arkansas Ozarks.
Nehring's major at Principia College in Illinois was Fine Arts. She's done post-graduate work in English and creative writing at the University of Tulsa, and in the University of Iowa Summer Writing Program.

This was an easy read, and I really enjoyed reading a book by a local author that is set in places where I have been or have heard a lot about. I did wish that the mysteries within this collection tied together better, and I found myself wishing for more details and more complete endings to many of the mysteries. I found some of the mysteries to be fairly predictable, but appreciated that none of them were too creepy or gory. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone local to NWA who is looking for a quick and easy read.
