He blogs at Adventures in Fiction (http://keananbrand.wordpress.com/) and at Penworthy Press (http://penworthypress.com/)."Before I knew how to write or even read, I was a story-listener. Dad comes from a long line of yarn-spinners, many of them tellers of tall-tales.
I loved hearing about his misadventures as he grew up in the Ozarks or the Willamette Valley, or his tales of life in the Navy in the late 1960s and taking shore leave in Japan. (The Navy yarns were highly edited; I realized this when Mom let slip a detail here or there, her lips pursed, her tone displeased.)"Mom, too, loved stories, and read several books a week, in addition to those she shared with my brother and me.
In the car while on long trips, or at bedtime as we settled down to sleep, Mom read Bible stories and children's books aloud. I listened intently to everything, and thus my love of story was born."
