Autorenporträt
Kevin Watts spent his early years in Crooksville, Ohio, until his family moved to Lancaster, Ohio, when he was five. There, he grew up in the shadow of Appalachia. His ancestors farmed the land and mined for coal in Meigs and Perry counties, and the women were the backbone of family life. Watts is a retired firefighter. He and his wife, Andrea, split their time between Ohio and Arizona while traveling America in their RV.
