Rick Shaw

Rick's storytelling is hereditary, he's just the first in the family to take time and write instead of traditional orally sharing stories.

Rick is from central Illinois. He has been a professional driver for over 30 years. Most of his work experience has been centered on agricultural support. The quiet time, in the cab of a semi-truck, gives him the opportunity to think and create ideas.

The tales he shares are based on life experiences. Rick is also a journalist and blogger. He has been published in specialty magazines that focus on his antique tractor passion.

Journalism provides him with another creative outlet, photography. One of his photographs appeared on the cover of Hart Parr Oliver Collector in an issue that featured one of Rick's articles.

.

New Perspectives is his first novel, in the Star Lake series.
