ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Bryan Salisbury grew up in rural upstate New York. Yearning for a more adventurous life after high school, he joined the Navy, vowing never to return to the farm. Years later, after his Navy days, Bryan met his wife, Andrea. She had always dreamed of owning horses, and the craving for open spaces had been tugging at Bryan. He found himself returning to what he knew best … a life in the country. They worked hard together, along with their children, and their dream came to fruition.

The need to repair farm equipment inspired Bryan to take up blacksmithing, and he derived great joy from it. His skill eventually turned into a successful business (Forgeries Blacksmithing). Having always been an avid reader with a particular fondness for Westerns, Bryan decided to draw on his life experiences which became the basis for writing this book.
