This week Mike Smith interviews:
Rob Shearer of Greenleaf Press
Rob and Cyndy Shearer are the proud homeschooling parents of seven children. Rob studied and taught history for nine years before wandering in the corporate wilderness for ten. Cyndy studied and taught creative writing and English literature for ten years. They are presently the owners of Greenleaf Press and the authors of the "Greenleaf Guide" series of history books.
