who IS this, anyway?

Reed Arvin was born on a working cattle ranch in Kansas. As a young man, he built fence, tended animals, and spent a lot of time wondering what was beyond a horizon 20 miles away. It’s fair to say he discovered the answer. As a musician, Reed has toured the world, produced albums with sales in the millions, and performed with Amy Grant on the Grammy Awards telecast. At the same time, a restless literary mind has created 4 novels, now published in 20 countries and 13 languages. Two have been optioned for film development, including The Will, to Paramount Pictures. His work routinely appears on major-media “10 Best” lists, and in 2007, Booklist named him their “Rising Star” in the crime novel category. His creative work has been covered by the New York Times, People Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, and many others. Reed is frequently quoted in the media and has been a featured guest on NPR's Talk of the Nation.  Reed’s current project is Americus: a novel of miracles.
