Cherokee7

Frank Stewart grew up amid the pine forests and red clay of East Texas -- a land not unlike the early Cherokees' original home in present-day Georgia. Intrigued by the true history of the Native Americans from an early age, Stewart felt inspired to write River Rising following a deeply moving experience with a full-blood Cherokee medicine man in the remote hills of Eastern Oklahoma.

Stewart holds degrees in art, languages, English and American literature and in film production from Stephen F. Austin University in Nacogdoches, Texas, St. Mary's University in San Antonio, Texas, and The University of Southern California in Los Angeles.

The author currently resides in Leander, Texas
