Joseph Gary Crance was born in Upstate New York near his hometown of Painted Post. The author spent hundreds of nights with his father, a New York State Forest Ranger, and their dogs, chasing raccoon through the hills bounding this scenic land. After a career in the U.S. Air Force, he returned to Painted Post with his family--back to the woodland hollows of his youth to again listen to the nighttime songs of his hounds in the pursuit of the wily ringtail. Admittedly, Joe doesn't climb these unchanging hills as fast as he once did. But that's okay. His hounds and the many old oaks have a great deal of patience. His first novel that was turned into audiobook format, The Last Coon Hunter: Book I of the Ryland Creek Saga, Fifth Anniversary Edition, won Second Place in NYSOWA's 2022 Excellence in Craft (EIC) Awards (Television, Radio, Video, and Audio category). Two of his other novels, The Forest Ghost and The Master of Hounds: Book IV of the Ryland Creek saga, won First and Second place (book category), respectively, in NYSOWA's 2021 EIC awards. Mr. Crance is a member of the New York State Outdoor Writers Association (NYSOWA) and holds a degree in Professional Writing from Mansfield University.
