The Indiana Cowboy, Alais, The Rambler, Or The Yankee Rebel who wore a hat with a 24" plume feather. Inspired by Col. John Singleton Mosby Southren Rebel. (My children call it that crazy hat.) My life's dream was to be a Real Cowboy! Now I try to write about them.
Background
Information
I was born and raised as an Indiana farmboy and always wanted to be a cowboy. I moved to Florida, and while working for a large Citrus grower in southern Florida, I was bored with the job I had which had nothing to do with horses or cattle. To distract myself I started making up stories in my head and would go home in the evening and write them in long hand. About that time an offer came in the mail to buy The Zane Grey books. After I started buying and reading the whole collection, I started writing stories of my own, just for the fun of it, and letting people read them. Then I was told I should publish them and have self-published two. I also have two more full length western stories, 'The Black Horse Quest', and 'Race'. I also another full length story about the son of Tom Sawyer, titled, 'Trent, the son of Tom Sawyer', and a short adventure called 'The Florida Indian Fighter'.
I would like to find an Agent to assist me before going any further. Especially for The Adventures of Trent Sawyer, the son of Tom Sawyer.
