Because he was raised on a small farm in the Wilder, Idaho area, Leland was forced at an early age to see the funny side of life. These stories mostly come from that experience, and have been honed by telling and re-telling to his children and anyone who would listen. When it became obvious that he and his stories were being ignored, he decided to become a writer so he could be ignored in print and by a larger audience. Leland is the parent of five children, who have denied any responsibility for their father's actions. All five have fled the nest looking for sanity. Leland and his wife live in Eastern Oregon. These clean and nostalgic stories are ideal for the entire family. Parents and children alike will enjoy hearing the funny side of life as seen through the eyes of a farm child.
