South Dakota where I scribbled short Western stories in little
spiral notebooks and charged my classmates a penny or two to
read them.
My ambition to be an author was delayed by college, Air Force, marriage
with children and other distractions. Eventually, while teaching English
in Lander, Wyoming, I succeded in writing Duel Decision, using a
pseudonym: Milo Grant. It was not published. Years later (2008) I did
publish a juvenile novel (Sinks Canyon Mystery) under my own name.
In that story, one of the characters spent his spare time writing a rather
racy Western novel. It was only natural that I named that character “Milo
Grant” and the book he was writing was, of course, Duel Decision! Thus
we have a unique situation in which a fi ctional character wrote a book
which became real--this one.
