Ken Farmer's dialogue flows like a beautiful western river...it's the gold standard. - Carole Beers
Ken Farmer didn't write his first full novel until he was sixty-nine years of age.
Ken spent thirty years raising Beefmaster cattle and Quarter horses in Texas and forty-five years as a professional actor (after a stint in the Marine Corps). Those years gave him a background for storytelling…or as he has been known to say, I don't write about outlaws and peace officers...I write about people.
Writing has become Ken's second life: he has been a Marine, played collegiate football, been a Texas wildcatter, cattle and horse rancher, professional film and TV actor and now...a novelist. Who knew?
I've read many Zane Grey and Louis L'Amour novels, but I enjoy Ken Farmer's the best! - Dr. Ernest Martin, DDS.
"Ken is a magnificent writer. I enjoy everything he writes whether it is about the old west, southern noir mysteries, or about the modern Black Eagle Force. - Israel Drazin TOP 1000 REVIEWER & VINE VOICE.
