Chad Strong is a Canadian author to whom the "Three R's" means: Readin', Writin', and Ridin'- his greatest passions.
Chad discovered the power of books at a young age and has been enjoying and learning through the written word ever since. His main interests lie in westerns, fantasy, history, mythology, and literary classics. As with his reading preferences, Chad's writing does not adhere to any one particular genre. He writes the stories that hassle him, demanding to be told, be they western, fantasy, supernatural, suspense, young adult, mainstream, or any combination thereof.
Chad's first novel, "High Stakes", made it to the Finals for both a Peacemaker Award by the Western Fictioneers in the category of Best First Western Novel, and for a RONE Award by InD'Tale Magazine in the American Historical category.
"High Stakes" appeals to both male and female audiences with its western grit, historical interest, and romantic elements. Set in Victoria, BC, Canada the novel has received favourable reviews, including one from noted Victoria historian, Norman K. Archer.
A dedicated horseman as well, Chad's time and energy have always been divided by his two greatest passions – horses and books. Largely self-taught beyond high school, Chad's first bits of writing success came through short stories and non-fiction articles, with years passing between publications. Along with High Stakes' nominations, a few of his short stories have been chosen as readers’ favourites.
After a number of readers asked, Chad gathered several of his short stories into a single volume called "Mixed Grazing - A Collection of Short Stories", which features stories of different genres together.

High Stakes is a gun fighting, fist-fighting, tangled romance of adventure for men and women enthralled with the history of Canada's Old West!
Two lowlifes want him dead, moral crusaders want him gone, and cocky young gambler Curt Prescott's caught between two women who want his love.
23-year-old Curt Prescott plays better poker than men twice his age. His skill raised him from a life of degradation on the streets to a comfortable living with his girl, saloon songstress, Del, in Victoria, BC.
In the spring of 1877, a new preacher, his wife, and daughter, Mary, arrive. The preacher hopes to save the souls of Victoria's "misguided". His wife forms a committee to eradicate them. Curt must fight back with everything he has – including a plan to seduce Mary and shame the family.
As a notorious criminal, and Del's jealous rages, threaten them all, Curt finds himself torn between Del and Mary, and his battle for his lifestyle becomes one of right and wrong, life and death, and love lost and found.
Chock-full of action, romance, and courage of the heart, High Stakes is an adventure for men and women alike.
