About the author (2011)

J. Curtis Smith has been writing short stories for the last twenty years. He loves to tell stories. Most of his works have a theme, based on morality, friendship, exaggeration, imagination, and life lessons with a good moral base. He enjoys writing about the past and the present with simple, everyday themes—nothing to big and nothing to small, just normal people stories.

Smith has been in the oil and gas business all his life. He enjoys collecting things that have to do with history and spending time with his two children, Austin and Allie.

Smith lives in Lindsay, Oklahoma, a small community in the heartland. He has lived there all his life and has traveled to many places in the world.

He is a people person that doesn’t know a stranger, and he thinks all people have a story to tell. The most interesting stories are those about everyday life, whether it is the present, the past, or the future.
