Zach Hively

Zach Hively and his dogs live in northern New Mexico. Called "an authentic humorist, a rare beast" (V. B. Price), he is the author of Call Me Zach Hively Because That Is My Name. He writes the long-running Fool’s Gold column, which has (somehow) won several first-place nods from the Society of Professional Journalists’ Top of the Rockies awards. His Desert Apocrypha earned the Reading the West Book Award for poetry, and his other poetry titles include Owl Poems and Wild Expectations. Lest you try to find him in person, be warned: he plays the harmonica but refuses to get better at it.
