P. Craig Packer is a practicing dentist in Farmington, Utah, but he prefers fly-fishing and playing basketball to any actual work. He and his wife, Charlotte, have three wonderful children who keep them busy at all times. Craig is pleased that his love of reading has been passed down to each of the children. His hobbies have provided him with years of practice in the telling of fictitious stories. He stands by his claims, however, that he once caught a twenty-five inch rainbow trout with a size 18 fly.
