About the author:
Virginia author, Rodney Evans has published a debut series of children’s books designed to entertain, educate and enlighten children and adults.
“Never in a million years did I imagine becoming a writer. One night an on-the-spot joke I made transformed family dinner into a 30 minute giggle fest. My family insisted I write and turn the joke into a story. I’d spent my professional career writing business reports, briefs and memos so terror doesn’t begin to describe the feeling when I first placed myself in a chair to write creatively. Today its a million smiles later and I know following my family’s wishes was the right thing.”
Rodney Evans was born September 11, 1966 in Gulfport, MS. He enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard Reserve in 1987 and was commissioned in 1995.
