Moving to New Mexico as a young man, he now finds himself living in the west that he used to read about. Jon writes with a passion for the history and diversity of the Old West which is reflected in his books and personal life. Residing in the Southwest gives him inspiration for his stories with its diverse culture; from ancient Indian and pueblo societies, to the Spanish and Anglo influences, and a vast range of landscapes from the Rocky Mountains to the high deserts and wild river canyons.Jon continues to live in New Mexico with his wife and daughter where he has worked in the semi-conductor industry, delivered mail for the postal service, and as a car salesman. Also a musician, he has played trumpet since his school days and now plays weekly in church and also sings in the choir.

    Not every criminal is a foul human being. "The Feather Gang" is a novel set in the American Old West following the Feather Gang as they evade U.S. Marshal Jake Silver, who is hot on their trail trying to bring them to justice. An old fashioned story of the honorable bandits and the equally honorable law, "The Feather Gang" is a charming story that will please Old West fiction fans.Midwest Book Review by Michael Carson.
