Blant is a businessman and writer who lives in Jonesboro, Arkansas. His new memoir, "Not the Seasons I Expected," is about his life and times as a college football fan. It is available on Amazon and in select bookstores. The Awkward Ozarker was published in 2016, and his novel, Healer's Twilight, came out in 2001. In addition, numerous of his columns have appeared in Arkansas Business, Jonesboro Sun, and The Wall Street Journal. He and his wife reside in a century-old house that somehow feels inspirationally literary (or so he believes).
