A. G. Brenckle lives in Colorado, on a small farm. He has farmed, built log homes, rode ditch, run heavy equipment, and rough necked in the oil field. His two daughters and three grandchildren live near him. He started writing stories for his grandchildren. A. G.'s storytelling stems from his father, who was a school teacher. He would tell A. G., his brother and sisters bedtime stories when they were young. His stories would consist of places he had been, things he had done, and make believe characters. A. G. has used these traits along with imagination, to create "The Adventures of Sleepy Ann and Sam" series. Some of these are fairy tales, some are educational and were written in storybook form to make learning more fun and memorable.
