    About Me

    My Photo
    Randy
    I teach eighth grade communication arts (English) at East Middle School in Joplin. Before entering the teaching field, I spent 22 years as a reporter and editor for various Southwest Missouri newspapers. I have published three novels, Small Town News, Devil's Messenger, and No Child Left Alive, and four non-fiction books, The Turner Report, Newspaper Days, 5:41: Stories from the Joplin Tornado, and Spirit of Hope: The Year After the Joplin Tornado.
