Meet the Author

Introducing myself, I’m Rick Shaw. I’m a published author residing in Central Illinois. I grew up with an agricultural background and garnered a great love of antique tractors
My writing credits include articles in Lawn & Garden magazine and Hart Parr Oliver Collector magazine. Both magazines have featured my photography. One of my photos was the cover feature for the Oliver magazine.
I have two novels published with House of Honor Publishing. New Perspectives debuted in 2022 and a sequel Can’t go Home followed in 2023. I have plans to submit several more novels in the future.
Besides my writing, I’m an antique tractor collector. I’ve had several come and go from my collection that “officially” started in 1990. At that time I was more of a lawn and garden tractor collector. Although I still have garden tractors, my collection expanded to larger farm tractors in 2015.
This blog celebrates antique tractors in part and once in awhile will be hijacked to explore and promote writings from fellow authors I support. I hope you enjoy my musings I share.
My writing is greatly influenced and encouraged by my late mother, Bonnie Jennings. I dedicate my efforts to her honor.
Our world is blessed with artists, for without them, our world holds no color.
