BiographyI've lived in Southern Arizona most of my life. I spent a lot of my early years on my belly in dry arroyos hunting sand rubies, converting the propane tank into a stagecoach and exploring the Sonoran desert on my horse. Later my family had a ranch where we raised cattle. My freelance work has covered a broad spectrum -- advertising and editing, writing television and radio spots, political speeches, training manuals, brochures, articles and, of course, books. I've also taught creative writing through the Long Ridge Writer's Institute, the University of Arizona and Pima Community College. My traditionally published books are: Enju(Northland Press; 1982); Lyons on Horses (Doubleday; 1991,co-written with horse trainer John Lyons); America's Best (AMC; 1995); The Last Song Dogs (Bantam; 1999); The Sporting Club(Bantam; 2000); Rode Hard, Put Away Dead (Bantam; 2001); Crack Shot (Bantam; 2002); Feathers Brush My Heart (Time Warner; 2002), and Traggedy Ann (Dell, 2003). Bobby Bad, Harvesting Ray, Standard Messiah and An Ounce of Prevention are all new books available in e-book format. Crack Shot, Traggedy Ann, Rode Hard, Put Away Dead, Lyons on Horses and America's Best are available in the traditional book format as well as e-books. My husband and I split our time between Arizona and the Sandhills of Nebraska where we have a ranch. In the summers we raise cattle on lush grass pastures. When Fall arrives our thoughts turn to warmer weather and we return to Arizona. Life is good. |
