Since a child, Tom C. Greer has always loved dogs. After working in Hawaii for three years, he moved back home to Texas and started a career as a teacher. It was the fall of 1991, and Greer was living in his hometown of Texarkana, TX. He was staying with his mother at the time and surprised her one day by bringing home a big pasteboard box with a fluffy apricot poodle puppy inside. He dropped off the box at home and asked his mom to keep it while he went to work. While she was not too happy to see him bring home a dog, she knew he loved animals.
If you have read the first title in the Adventures of Honey series, A New Home for Honey, that story should look familiar. Greer recreated much of it in the beginning pages of his picture book that started what would become the first of many stories about Honey and her adventures.

Award-winning children’s author, Tom C. Greer, loves an audience. As a child growing up in Texarkana, TX, he was an avid reader and storyteller. In school, Greer was one of the "smart kids" and part of the popular crowd, but still somewhat shy and reserved. That all changed when he joined a public speaking class at his alma mater, Liberty-Eylau High School. It was winning a citywide contest that pushed him to the next level.
