Thomas Fenske currently lives in North Carolina but he was born and raised in Texas.He's braved long stretches of endless Texas highways in search of the best Chicken-Fried Steak, Chili, Texas BBQ, and Tex-Mex food. He's hiked west Texas mountains, canoed rapids on the Guadalupe River, suffered through waves of mosquitoes in The Big Thicket, and rafted the Rio Grande. He's blistered in the heat of the long Texas summers and endured hurricanes, ice storms, hail, wind, and floods. He has even ridden across ranchland looking for a lost "little dogie" ... how many Texans can say they did that? He's also explored the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Outer Banks and straddled the debate line between Texas and NC BBQ. Pulling from this rich and varied background, he strives to inject a slice of life into his fiction.He and his lovely wife of thirty-six years currently share their home with eight cats and a dog. Somehow, he still manages to write amidst the chaos.Web page: http://tfenske.comTwitter: @author_tfenskeInstagram: @author_tfenskeRead more about this authorRead less about this author
