Ernie W. Webb III, a best-selling, award-winning writer and author, is a native Missourian who has lived most of his life in Kansas. He has a bachelor’s degree in mass media and a Master of Liberal Studies with an emphasis in journalism from Washburn University.
Webb’s passion for reading began as a child, as he pored through the local newspaper and “Sporting News” magazine for box scores and stories about his beloved Kansas City Royals and Chiefs. The love for all things sports became a career in newspapers, including stints as a beat reporter, copy editor, columnist and editor in Kansas, Texas, Virginia and Oklahoma. Webb left the news business in 2010 and has worked in higher education for 13 years, including 11 as a media relations specialist and director of marketing at his alma mater (Go Bods!).
His writing covers an array of topics, including true crime, sports, and his late father. Webb lives in Kansas with his goddess of a wife and three awesome kids.
