About the author
Bill Brooks is the author of many highly acclaimed historical and frontier fiction novels. After a lifetime of working a variety of jobs, Brooks turned to his first love--writing. Brooks wrote a string of frontier fiction novels, beginning with The Badmen (1992) and Buscadero (1993), before he attempted something more lyrical and literary: The Stone Garden: The Epic Life of Billy the Kid (2002). The Stone Garden was compared by Booklist with classics like The Virginian and Hombre. Brooks went on to write in succession three series of Western novels, beginning with Law For Hire (2003), then, Dakota Lawman (2005), and finished up with The Journey of Jim Glass (2007). He lives and writes in Florida. His next Five Star Publishing Western will be The Life and Times of Tom Dooley, coming November 2016.
