It's not such a big step from pictures to writing.
And that's how it started out for me. I've illustrated more Western book covers than I care to mention and been doing it for a long time. No hardship, I hasten to add, I love the genre and have since a kid, although originally I made my name painting the cover art for other people, now at least, I manage to create covers for my own books.
A long-term closet writer, only comparatively recently, with a family grown and the availability of self-publishing have I managed to be able to write and get my stories out there.
As I did when illustrating, research counts a lot and has inspired many of my Westerns and Thrillers to have a basis in historical fact or at least weave their tale around the seeds of factual content.
Having such a visual background, mostly it's a matter of describing the pictures I see in my head and translating them to the written page. I guess that's why one of my early four-star reviewers described the book like a 'Western movie, fast paced and full of action.'
I enjoy writing them; I hope folks enjoy reading the results.
Six stories and novellas of the Old West told with the rough humor and brutality of hard-bitten men. Including, the famed mountain man Misty Blue who sets out to aid his long lost sister in 'Getting Religion'. In 'Deguello Gold' a staggering amount of gold coin brings out rapacious competing robber bands all intent on capturing the haul at whatever the cost. In 'Flystone' a trip to the silver town and the Coolen brothers who will take no trouble from anybody not even the Devil himself. 'Stormy Munday' is a high country hunter who comes across a young maid that is literally out of this world. In 'Rage' all is not as it seems with the docile odd job man. 'Wire Rope Express' cuts a wide path through the cold mountains where sheepherders are lost and the cause hidden deep in the snow.
