Paul L Thompson
Paul L. Thompson writes "true" historical western fiction. Every location is, or was, true to the times... the 1870s through 1912. Names of towns that no longer exist (or names that have been changed) come to life before your very eyes, page after exciting page. Towns, canyons and creeks you might have walked through on your vacation in the southwest are named correctly. Every location used his novels may be visited today. Most of the country Thompson writes about, he has rode over on horseback more than once. Before starting to write his novels, he did fifteen years of extensive research on top of the knowledge he already had gained from living his life in New Mexico. His love of cattle, horses, and the whole southwest, with its wide-open spaces, inspired him to write novels that express the beauty of the Southwest in print.
