About the author
Dennis Whipple's journey began on a dairy farm in a quaint rural community in Iowa, where his passion for writing blossomed in childhood. However, as he considered the practicalities of life, he redirected his focus toward business, earning a graduate degree in Marketing and Finance. "While writing has always been my passion, the harsh reality of making ends meet forced me to pursue a different path," he shared in a recent interview. Whipple navigated the corporate world with remarkable success, ultimately becoming CEO and president of two Fortune 500 companies. Now retired, he finally returns to his first love-writing. He and his wife relish a lifestyle that blends winters in sunny Florida with summers in the picturesque mountains of North Carolina. This is his debut novel, a testament to the dreams he never stopped chasing.
