Over 30 years experience

Writing and retail advertising

 

 

Charlie Hubacek has had an insatiable urge to write since he was eight years old.  Although nearly always an enthusiastic scholar of history, when he attended The School of the Ozarks, Point Lookout, MO, (a small private liberal arts college in southwest Missouri) he majored in mass media/English.  There he was a student writer for the college public relations department and served as an associate and later editor of the student magazine.

 

Following his departure from formal education, he was employed for many years with a number of weekly newspapers in southwest Missouri working in retail advertising, a feature writer and operations manager of one small weekly.

 

Currently, he is working part time as a freelance writer, but concentrates his efforts on completing two historically based fictional novels in areas that he has actually lived for a number of years.  The first to be published is entitled, “In the High Ute Country”, a story of the gold rush era of 1859 in central Colorado.

 

Authors that have had a major influence on his life are Edward Abbey, Jack London, Louis L’Amour and Henry David Thoreau.

 

He was born in Kansas City, MO in 1957, raised in southwest Missouri, and currently lives in Missoula, MT.
