Wrestling God: The All True Misadventures of an Elkin, N.C. Boy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781492739845)

Raised a son of a rural Appalachian preacher, Arthur Crummer earned a Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering, and a Ph.D. in mathematics at The University of Florida. He is the current president of Writers Alliance of Gainesville, WAG. (www.writersAlliance.org) His writing prior to 2005 was all technical. "Wrestling God" is his first published full novel. For recreation, Art designs Sudoku puzzles, and enjoys dancing and proving theorems in topology. He gardens, keeps chickens and bees, teaches guitar and Dobro, enjoys woodworking, and writes poetry, songs, and fiction. He performs in his band at state-wide festivals, has won numerous first place ribbons in music competitions, and has led music workshops since 1995 (Dobro, slide guitar, flat-pick and finger-style guitar, and gospel singing). Art was awarded the prestigious Edward Flemming, Jr. award in 2008 for excellence in, and the promotion of, Old-Time music. Art lives in Gainesville, Florida with his wife Mary, and regularly returns to the Piedmont region of Western N.C., the locale of Book 1 (Wrestling God) of his two-book trilogy, "Fixing Things." If he writes Book 3, the third half of this sequence, the metafictional aspect of life's boundaries may manifest more explicitly.
