About Rana
Rana Williamson is a former journalist and university professor who specialized in Modern America and Modern Europe. The daughter of a World War II Army Air Corps bomber pilot, preserving the history and memories of the war and home front is a personal passion carrying a deep emotional bond to shared times with her late father.
Williamson currently works as a freelance writer and editorial consultant. Her interests include music, reading, digital photography, blogging, and all things computer. A native Texan, Williamson is the author of “When the Catfish Had Ticks,” a collection of Texas drought humor that evolved as a coping mechanism while working on her dissertation, a history of the seven-year drought that struck Texas and the Southwest from 1950 to 1957.
She will freely admit that the brains behind everything she does belong to three brilliant felines who are, by their own admission, the lords of creation. Her personal blog can be found at ranablog.com.
