About Creekbank Stories

Curt Iles writes from his hometown of Dry Creek, Louisiana. A lover of stories, nature, history, and dogs, he writes of the wonders of the woods and the memorable people who live there.

He and his wife DeDe are the parents of three sons and three grandsons. When not writing, Curt hikes, travels to Africa/Asia/Central America, gardens, plays the drums, and enjoys his family and lifetime country friends.

Creekbank Stories comes from his first book, Stories from the Creekbank, as well as his unique home town of Dry Creek.*

The purpose of Creekbank Stories is “Influencing the world with stories: beginning in a good place called the Louisiana Piney Woods and moving out as a ‘ripple effect’ to the world.”

*We are often asked about the origin of “Dry Creek.” Community historian Frank Miller stated, “Its Attakapa Indian name was “Beautiful Creek” and the English translation missed the word.”
