About the author:
Phil Asmundson has taken an unusual path to publishing his first book – the first of a trilogy no less. He was an outdoor kid who built miles of trails through the woods and created adventures that lived only in his mind. After retiring, he researched Southwest myths, discovered the Tuar Tums’ legend, and brought them to life. Phil and his wife, Kim, live in Arizona, where they own Deep Sky Vineyard and spend their nights looking at the stars.
