R M Christesen

I began writing poetry in third grade. When my poem won first prize at the local fair, my writing interests expanded to short stories in addition to poetry and song lyrics.

Having a regular column in both my high school and college papers, Idabbled with the idea of making it a career, but that never went any further. None the less, I captured this image of me years ago and told everyone it would be my "author photo".

Now when not out camping, fishing, or simply hanging out on the water with my family, I am working on new plots, scribbling notes or typing away at odd hours on my laptop.

I am older, but I refuse to be invisible!
