Charles G. West arrived on the Western literary scene in 1998 with his first novel, Stone Hand, the first of a three-book series featuring Jason Coles, master tracker. The public response to that series called for more Western fiction by West, who now has written over thirty novels. Inspired in his youth by great adventure authors like A. B. Guthrie, Jr., and Vardis Fisher, West has always sought to be true to the men and women who braved the dangers of the savage frontier that was ultimately forged to become the American West. His novels are classified as historical Westerns due to his diligent research of the times as well as the people.
