Will John find his missing food? Or will he find his laziness may have unforeseen consequences? About the Author Ronnie Brunner's route to writing a book took a very wide path. Born in a family of coal miners, he spent thirty years coal mining before the mine shut down in 1999. He then went to school for a two-year degree where a writing class ignited his passion for writing stories. Brunner has spent a lifetime watching the chipmunks of the forest which inspired him to create A Chipmunk's Story .
