Dean Pearson

Dean Paul Pearson was born in 1964 and is a native of Wichita, Kansas. Born number ten of twelve children, eight boys and four girls, he developed a passion for reading and the great outdoors as a means to escape from a crowded farmhouse. Also, being raised on a forty-acre farm on the outskirts of the city, which to this day is still a working family owned farm, allowed Dean, his siblings,cousins and friends to enjoy acres upon acres of land in which to explore and share in many adventures together. Teaching is a passion of Dean's and while co-teaching a reading class, he began telling his students about his childhood adventures before they took their reading exams. The students thoroughly enjoyed the stories, which seemed to relieve some of their test anxiety. Naturally, the students began to request a story before each exam was taken and Dean gladly accommodated them. The enjoyment the students received from the stories inspired Dean to write them down...and thus volume one of a five volume series of "The Farmhouse Chronicles" was created.
