Cas Roberts

Award winning Cas Roberts, resides in Lincoln Co., Kentucky. Cas was raised in a cabin of hewed logs in the Appalachian mountains of Wayne Co., Kentucky having eight siblings. At thirteen, he was learning the logging and sawmill trades. At the age of fourteen, the family relocated from the mountain home to Pulaski County, Kentucky. In later years he took the migration trail into the northern state of Indiana for a job.Two marriages have resulted in six lovely children.

After spending near twenty years in Indiana he returned to Lincoln County, Kentucky.

Cas brings to the pages a way of life some know, few have seen, and all can relate.

Three years ago a nephew was writing poetry that inspired him to write in part, poetry about the old mountain lifestyle background. It is Appalachian Poetry volume 1, a book of mini stories in poem, as he saw life through his eyes.

Today retired, Cas spends his time in the outdoors as much as possible. Family takes up most of his time. He still owns the Kentucky Mountain Horse for pleasure. Much of his time is spent on writing.

"By writing this book of short stories I can preserve the way of life I have experienced. They are personal experiences that I have witnessed over many years in my lifetime; my main goal being to preserve our heritage."
