Ace Lone Wolf and the One-Eyed Mule Skinner

I grew up on a working cattle ranch in the Arizona desert in the '60s and '70s. But if you're thinking that sounds romantic, let me stop you right there. Replace those thoughts of 10-gallon hats and six-shooters with old, rusted trucks, sagging, barbed-wire fences, sway-backed horses and unending work. Which probably has a lot to do with why I became a writer. It involves a whole lot more sitting than ranching does, though most of the time the pay has been about the same. I’ve been writing novels for almost 30 years and it’s possible some of them are even worth reading.
