About the Author

Gregory O. Smith loves life!

Greg Smith grew up in a family of four boys that enjoyed riding horses, exploring Old West gold mines, camping in the mountains. As a boy, he got to help drive an army tank across the Southern California desert in search of a crashed airplane! It’s no wonder that writing family-friendly mystery adventure books is a second nature to him. He also enjoys doing family history research to learn about his ancestors and the places they called home.

Hamburgers are his all-time favorite food! (Hold the tomatoes and pickles, please.) Boysenberry pie, topped with homemade vanilla ice cream, is a close second.

Greg and his wife enjoy spending time with their children and grandchildren. He has been a junior high school teacher and lived to tell about it. He has also been a water well driller, game and toy manufacturer, army mule mechanic, gold miner, railroad engineer, and living history adventure tour guide. Think: dressing up as a Pilgrim, General George Washington, a wily Redcoat, or a California Gold Rush miner. Way too much fun!

Greg’s design and engineering background from Brigham Young University has enabled him to build things people can enjoy such as obstacle courses, waterwheels, and ride-on railroads. His books are technically accurate, humor-filled, and STEM supportive. He hopes you enjoy them and loves to hear from his readers.
