Dale P. Rhodes, Sr. was born in central Virginia and still lives there today. He wrote poetry and short stories in high school. After graduation life became centered around work, bills, and parenthood and writing was pushed to the back burner. The death of Dale's father stirred his pen to life again. Dale loves his wife and their four grown children. He also loves movies, music, sports, and doing projects around the house. His rescue dogs and cats are his babies now. Dale continues to write and hopes to have his fourth and fifth books coming to fruition in the near future.
