Kent Conwell


USA flag (1936 - 2013)

Kent Conwell grew up in the Texas Panhandle in the town of Wheeler, population 848. The West was an integral part of his life. The solitude of the Panhandle, which offered little more than school and work, encouraged his reading and writing as well as his exploration of the vastness of the rolling prairies, the emptiness of which carried the presentiment itself of mystery and death. A quest for adventure had been woven into his life by his grandfather, who had run away from his Tennessee home when he was 14. He bullwhacked his way to the Panhandle where he met his future wife who had traveled from Illinois to Texas. A successful educator, his love for writing about the West and its enigmas, a period in history unique to America never waned. After twenty-two westerns, he wrote his first mystery. He won awards for short stories, screenplays, mysteries, and westerns.
