Author Biography
Stuart Watkins lives in SaddleBrooke, AZ. He taught in Oracle, AZ and has visited many times, including climbing 2 o'clock Hill numerous times. Stuart is a poet and is currently President of the Tucson Poetry Society. He has published several books including Arizona: 100 Years, 100 Poems, 100 Poets to celebrate Arizona's 100th year of Statehood in 2012. His next book was Black and White are only Shades of Gray, or so they say. It is a collection of his short stories, poems, memoirs, and some wit and humor. His book titled The House that Ran Away is for parents and grandparents to read to their children. This is about a house that got tired of being neglected, tired of the noise the children made running up and down the stairs, slamming the doors, banging balls against the walls, and it just ran away one day when everyone was gone. A fun read. Stuart's next book is titled Kona, Hawaii, Walking Alii Drive. It includes amazing pictures of sites that most tourists overlook while visiting Kona. He took pictures of beautiful gates, unusual mail boxes, designs on houses, sacred sites, and if one finds all the sites in this book, a feeling of knowing Kona will encompass the reader. He has recommended places to eat, and has captured the feeling of walking Alii Drive quite well.
