Biography
I was born in Savannah, Georgia and grew up in a small town
called Metter, sixty miles northwest. I first discovered writing
through sound. As an infant, I crawled around the ankles of two of the
best storytellers I’ve ever heard, my maternal grandmother and true
Southern queen, Rubye Trapnell Becker, and my father, Hugh Esten
Cromartie Jr., a legendary whitetail deer hunter and T-4 paraplegic with
no legs. When I was old enough to make requests, I’d ask them to tell
my favorite stories over and over again, sometimes four or five times in
a row. The plots were not what I found most interesting. It was the
way they told these stories that never got old.
