About
Darkly imagined adventures for readers with a quirky sense of humor and a jaded reading palate, including nature stories and a touch of fantasy and Sci/fi. Themes range from a guy forced into a western-style duel in a southwestern desert, a Pakistani slum kid being indoctrinated to blow himself up, a starving cat giving his rescuer a lesson in commitment, a farmer being questioned by one of his cows who was sent by the herd elders to ask some stiff questions, to mention a few. As a bonus enjoy snarky remarks from the author . . . A lover of the desert and all things western as a result of growing up in El Paso, Texas, Steve Smith moved to Southeast Arizona after forty years in the cold winters of Michigan. He lives on a "ranchette" surrounded by mountains with wife Peggy, several cats and a dog, where he is polishing several novels, short stories and a humorous memoir of his peacetime Army days.
