Dave Donelson

Dave Donelson is an award-winning writer and artist with some three million words in print. His career has taken him from the jungles of Australia's Cape York Peninsula to the minarets of Riyadh. He's climbed the spire of the Empire State Building, floated the Usumacinta River to the Mayan ruins at Piedras Negras in Guatemala, and photographed the tree-climbing lions and mountain gorillas of Uganda. His work appears regularly in over three dozen national publications.

Dave's most recent project is My Gitfiddle Summer, a coming-of-age novel set against the backdrop of small towns in 1950s Missouri and illuminated by the country music of the era.
