Brenda Clem Black

Black's award-winning short stories have been read on NPR's Tales From The South and published in anthologies. Black & Kiddo is her first full-length book, a creative nonfiction about her in-laws, the product of eight years of research and writing and twenty years of thinking. A nursery entrepreneur and former family and children's therapist, Black divides her time between a rustic farm on a Civil War Battlefield and a modern mountaintop aerie near the wild Buffalo River, both in her home state of Arkansas.
