S.D. Smith is the author of The Fledge Chronicles serial and a blogger at the accident-prone intersection of the arts, humor, faith, and family. He is a contributor to the on-line public house The Rabbit Room, presented by author and singer-songwriter Andrew Peterson. He had the rare privilege of growing up first in the Appalachian hills and then the foothills of the Drakensberg Mountains in South Africa. He now once again lives in his home state of West Virginia, right beside his neighbors. He is a married man with legitimate issues.
