  Audie Murphy

  American soldier Audie Leon Murphy, the most decorated combat veteran of World War II, in later years acted in popular movies and westerns.
  
  Audie Murphy lived in a large sharecropper family as the seventh of twelve children. His father abandoned the family, and as a teenager, his mother died. Murphy dropped out school in fifth grade to pick cotton and to find other work to help to support his family, and his necessary skill with a hunting rifle fed them. His older sister helped him to falsify documentation about his birth date to meet the minimum-age requirement for enlisting in the military.
  
  Murphy attempted to join the Marines and Navy first, but his small size duly caused them to turn him away. Audie Murphy lied about his age to enlist i

  Dave P. Fisher

  I have been a writer of adventure novels of the Old West. I have now branched out to writing contemporary crime novels with a suspense/mystery base. What I feel makes these unique is that they are set in the modern West and Alaska, as opposed to exotic world and big city settings. They involve average people and local law enforcement agencies.
  
  My writing influence comes from my ancestral roots. Mountain men, voyageurs, pioneers, and explorers make up the branches of my family tree. My paternal grandfather was Blackfoot Indian from Montana. My maternal grandfather was a Minnesota lumberjack, both men were born in the 1800’s.
  
  As a lifelong outdoorsman I have inherited that pioneer blood and followed in the footsteps of both my families. I h

  Ash Lingam

  Ash Lingam was born and raised in Southern Ohio, not far from the mighty Ohio River. He had somewhat of an isolated upbringing on a family farm with his sisters. His best friends were his horse, Sugar, and his grandfather.
  Born in 1886, the family patriarch grew crops, raised cattle, and doted on the young boy. At his grandfather’s side, Ash learned about livestock and firearms at an early age. His grandad carried an old Colt with him at all times, helping spawn a young boy’s dreams of yesteryear.
  Ash was only eight years old when his grandad taught him how to trap muskrats to prevent them from draining the farm’s ponds. He gave him a double-barreled shotgun at twelve and taught him how to hunt to put food on the table.

By the time he started much of this activity had moved to Havana, Cuba, which had attracted a variety of characters, some heroic but most shady. Watson describes his many problems in the business in a lively, modern style.
