R. Allen Chappell grew-up amid the ethnic diversity of New Mexico where most of these stories are set. He grew up with the Navajo, went to school with and later worked alongside—forging enduring friendships along the way. "Those friendships became the inspiration for this series. My writing focuses on the people of the Four Corners region past and present. I tend not to romanticize my characters, preferring instead to paint them as I find them. They have much the same qualities, good and bad, as the rest of us."

“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.”

“It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.”

“Do not read, as children do, to amuse yourself, or like the ambitious, for the purpose of instruction. No, read in order to live.”
