“My real name is Michael D.
George. I write westerns. In my time I’ve done a lot of things.
I’ve been a barber, a freelance commercial artist, a portrait
painter, a grave stone designer (a dying trade), an animator and
author. I did spend a few years in the Merchant Navy and was lucky
to have travelled around the world four times before I was 23. I
spent a lot of time in America during those days and cruised for
two summers between California and Alaska. Now it is forty years
later and these days I spend most of my time writing novels under
my own name and no less than seven pseudonyms. I’ve been lucky to
number a few of my old cowboy heroes as friends, and my walls are
covered in the photographs of several of my cowboy hero pals. I’ve
written a lot of books and I hope you enjoy this one, because there
are plenty more to follow! As one of those friends, the late,
legendary Monte Hale used to tell me, ‘Shoot low—they might be
crawling!’ Always your pal, Michael D. George.”
