L. P. Arnold is a former federal law enforcement officer, business owner, and Texas rancher whose life has taken him from the Missouri Ozarks to the small town of Sand Springs, Oklahoma. A U.S. Army veteran and University of Tulsa graduate, he’s spent more than forty years building a life with his wife, Vicki, raising three sons and celebrating six grandchildren—most of whom live close enough to keep the house lively. Rooted in the places that shaped him, Arnold writes stories about the instinctive pull of home—those moments when people return to the landscapes, memories, and loves that formed them. His novels explore triumph, tragedy, and the quiet truths of everyday life, often stirring forgotten feelings in readers who recognize pieces of their own pasts in his characters.
