Author Patricia Stinson is a retired elementary school
teacher living in Minnesota. She loves animals and has a rescue dog called
Nike, and two parakeets called Frik and Frak [I love it, how ingenious!]. She
also loves horses, and rides both English and Western style [I can ride both
Western and Australian].
Range War Legacy is an historical western based on the
cattle and sheep wars in the United States. She was inspired to write it after
reading an article in Wild West magazine; a woman interviewed for the magazine
stated she saw some sheep herders actually killed when she was a child, but
never revealed their identity. This piqued Patricia’s curiosity and she began
to research the incident more.
Patricia’s book is currently available digitally at Amazon,
Barnes and Noble, and at Booklocker. She’s expecting a paperback version
sometime in December of 2014. [Should be an interesting read!]
Range War Legacy tells some of the conflict between the
sheep men and the cattle ranchers but also reveals the aftermath of the
violence on her characters. Patricia says, “Inward death does not end when the
war ends.” She hopes to inspire her readers to identify with her characters and
ask themselves what they might do in the same situation.
Currently, Range War Legacy is rated 5* on Amazon. One review called it: "A fast-paced western!", while another said, "This is a story of courage, love and loss."
Patricia is currently working on another historical western
called Wild River Journal that she expects to release in January, 2015. It will
detail the Mexican and Navaho life within the white culture of the West in the
1860’s. [This, too, sounds interesting!]
