ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Rex and LaVonne Ewing currently live and work from their solar- and wind-powered log home in the Colorado Rocky Mountains.

After handcrafting two log homes in the 1980s, Rex spent several years raising Thoroughbred horses and operating an equine nutrition firm, where he formulated and marketed numerous nutrition products worldwide. In 1997, he wrote a best-selling book on horse nutrition, Beyond the Hay Days: Refreshingly Simple Horse Nutrition and has been published by several equine publications. Since leaving the corporate world, Rex has been hard at work building their dream home, and writing novels and nonfiction books, including Power With Nature; Got Sun? Go Solar; and HYDROGEN—Hot Stuff Cool Science. His magazine columns can be found in Log Homes Illustrated and Countryside.

An award-winning graphic designer, LaVonne is the owner of Image Resource, a graphic design firm that specializes in book design, art catalogs, and corporate identities. Combining their writing and design talents, Rex and LaVonne established PixyJack Press in the mid-1990s.
