Doug Hiser

To tell the truth my life is a cartoon, funny, extravagant, creative, exciting and many of those “Coyote falls off the cliff and lands with a puff of dust at the bottom.” I am the author of Secret Grotto, Lost Oasis, Crow Canyon, Wink-Eye Creek, Cavern of the Eggstone, and 2006 The Honey Bee Girl, all available at Amazon.com. A poetry slam winner and producer, a professional artist, a football, track and soccer coach in public schools, a retired mailman (that's another story) a public speaker at conferences and schools, and there is also a bunch of stuff I used to do, like, play every sport imaginable, competitive bodybuilder for about ten years, and in 1992 I was on the American Gladiators television show.

I have published many short stories and written over two hundred. My website Art-Escape has a small art gallery and I also have a DVD of my artwork containing over one hundred pieces in six categories. I have produced many book and CD covers along with murals, illustrations and logos.

I am from southern Texas and was born to catch cottonmouth water moccasin snakes and grab armadillos by the tail. I was Tarzan of Texas when I was a kid and I wore clothes only because they made me go to school.

THE BILL CHEROKEE WAMPUS TROUPE IN CARNIVAL SQUARE
There used to be these animals that were fifteen feet tall.  They were called giraffes.  I remember when I was very young my mother took me to a traveling show in a big tent and we saw one of the last giraffes still living.  I never saw another one after that but I still remember how I felt when I tried to look up and find its head at the end of its long neck.  That was such a long time ago and now there aren’t hardly any animals left. >>>
