Author Tim Loveland (alphamaleearth@aol.com) was born and raised in the rolling hills of southwest Lower Michigan and educated at very small elementary and high schools. After 30 years in the auto industry and ten years of retirement, he has turned to personal and spiritual enrichment in the arts to conceive this storybook.

Tim hopes you will consider the young farmer’s plan and be inspired. Remember, it is never too late to get on your knees and talk to your Creator.

Illustrator Erica Beilby (Erica.beilby@gmail.com) grew up in Kalamazoo, drawn to different art styles and media. Her schooling at KVCC’s Center for New Media and the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts has helped refine her skills. Each of her pieces has its own unique look. At 19 years, she has found happiness in using her abilities to enliven other people’s ideas.

Erica’s inspiration comes from her great-grandmother who was a painter, with a strong connection to people.

Songwriter Chris Schleuder (cschleuder@yahoo.com) developed a love of music as a teenager
with a strong affinity for the alternative rock music popular at the time. His songwriting in recent years has become greatly influenced by other Michigan mucisians and songwriters. He has a deep appreciation of poetry and values the way words, when put in just the right way, can be brought together to create more meaning.

Chris lives in Kalamazoo, Michigan, with his son.
