From Gary Stuart the author:
"I
earned degrees in business and law at the University of Arizona, and
practiced law in Phoenix Arizona for a long time. In the 1990s, I
started writing long form, outside the office. I grew up in Gallup New
Mexico and always “hankered” to write a book about rural life in the
southwest.
I
currently teach creative writing to law students at Arizona State
University. I write every day. My stack includes hundreds of short
stories, articles, monologs, op-eds and blogs about writing and writers.
I got back to my cowboy roots in the nineteen-eighties, which might
explain why I’m now writing about life out west in the
eighteen-eighties. Gallup, Tucson and Darlene are my horses; they’ve
taught me a good deal about who I am over the last thirty years. Ten Shoes Up
is the first of a three-book series set in the 1880s along the New
Mexico Colorado border. These books can’t be booted down into the
traditional western genre. They chronicle the challenges that young men
and women faced at the turn of the 19th Century. From Angus’s point of view, as portrayed on my blog, not all that much has changed."
About the book: Ten Shoes Up
Synopsis:
Angus is an 1880s cowboy riding and hiding on Ten Shoes Up, a 10,000
foot mountain straddling the border between New Mexico and Colorado.
Angus doesn't talk much except to Tucson, his bay gelding. As he rides
into a new town, any fool can see he's well-armed, confident, and riding
a fine horse. He's often taken for a scout or a trapper, or an outlaw.
Town folk still mull their all too human problems, but Angus depends on
the horse he rides, the trails he follows, and the rivers he crosses.
His code-Hold true to nature, hide your misery, stay out of sight. In
his early twenties, Angus is on a mission and struggles to resolve
issues he thought were buried with his young wife.
