About the Author

A love of westerns and writing got Paul Harmon involved with an old west reenactment group. Putting his writing talent to work, he scripted many of the gunfights they performed. He meticulously researched the dialog and history of each gunfight to make them as accurate as possible. His gunfight reenactments have been performed in Tombstone, Arizona, Calico Ghost town, SASS End of Trail and other venues in Southern California. Taking his writing skills a step further, with the inspiration of his daughter and his wife, he wrote his first western novel. The character Calico Starr is in real life his daughter, Kimberly, the 1999 CMSA and 2000 SASS World Champion Cowgirl Mounted Shooter. Calico Starr is Kim's SASS alias.

Paul is retired and lives on a small horse ranch in California. He competes in Cowboy Mounted Shooting events as a Division 2 rider (no where near the level of his daughter) while working on his next novel.
