Born and raised in Texas, Ricky L. Ross started writing stories as a way to leave something meaningful for his children and grandchildren. What began as a simple idea grew into the magical land of Gingham Acres—a place full of laughter, learning, and life lessons told through rhyme. Ricky believes stories should be fun, engaging, and full of heart. His mission? To help kids fall in love with reading and use their imaginations freely.
