ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I live in Southern California with my wife, Stephanie, and four English Mastiffs. I enjoy exploring the back-country of the desert southwest and tinkering on our old Ford Broncos. I prefer good cigars, better food, and great beer. I’ve had a lifelong interest in the history of California and the west, and I’m a proud brother of E Clampus Vitus, Billy Holcomb Chapter. My professional background is in marketing, having worked for many years in the RV and automotive aftermarket industries.  The Austin Conrad thrillers are my first published works of fiction.  I hope you enjoy them!

I love to hear from fellow readers.  Please feel free to drop me a line any time at dusty@dustsharp.com. And I welcome you to join my exclusive reader group on Facebook, Sharp Readers (click here).
