Richard Koehn

Richard Koehn was born in the small farming community of Cimarron, Kansas, and raised with five younger siblings. Despite the church’s excommunication of his father (at the age of twelve), the author was shaped by the influence of the Mennonites.

The Characters’ deep-rooted attitudes and activities in this fictitious story directly result from Richard Koehn’s unique perspective on life. His observations of the world around him as he grew into adulthood and his eventual departure from the Mennonite church have all contributed to his intriguing and diverse experiences.

He is a former Nashville songwriter who has had three songs published, recorded, and released. He wrote for the Dodge City Daily Globe, and at 73, this was his first attempt at his life-long desire to write a novel.
