Brad Dennison was born in rural New England and grew up reading Louis L'Amour, Luke Short, A. B. Guthrie, Jr., and even Edgar Rice Burroughs. He fell in love with the Old West at a very young age, beginning with movies and TV series like Gunsmoke and Bonanza and later expanded to western novels, which led to his study of Western history. He doesn't write about the old west as much as he writes about what it might have felt like to be there. He is a member of the Western Writers of America.
