Ken Farmer didn't write his first full novel until he was sixty-nine years of age. He often wonders what the hell took him so long. At age seventy-nine…he's currently working on novel number thirty-seven.
Ken spent thirty years raising cattle and quarter horses in Texas and forty-five years as a professional actor (after a stint in the Marine Corps). Those years gave him a background for storytelling…or as he has been known to say, "I've always been a bit of a bull---t artist, so writing novels kind of came naturally once it occurred to me I could put my stories down on paper."
Ken's writing style has been likened to a combination of Louis L'Amour and Terry C. Johnston with an occasional Hitchcockian twist…now that's a combination.

LADY LAW

I discovered the existence of lady marshal, F.M. Miller, in the Indian Nations while researching through the 3,000 felony warrants Deputy US Marshal Bass Reeves served in his 31 year career and any other useable information I could find...I was immediately intrigued.
Very little is known about this iconic woman, save these small quotes from some newspapers of the day: The Fort Smith Elevator, in Read more of this blog post »

TRINITY KNOT by Ken Farmer
"Book ended too soon

Couldn't put this book down, for me, it ended too soon. But I was there in the woods, digging in the dirt, feeling the surprise of finding something special, the smell of cooked bacon and warm biscuits. That's the best part of Ken " Read more of this review »
TRINITY KNOT by Ken Farmer
"TRINITY KNOT is a gripping blend of history, myth, and suspense. Foot and Hutch’s adventure, the mysterious relics, and the Rouxgaroux’s chilling presence kept me hooked from start to finish. Highly recommended."

Peg Brantley Thanks for friending a fellow author, Ken.

Ken Farmer Heard that, Joyce. Having trouble reading myself. We are 68,000 words into our 4th BEF novel, "Black Eagle Force: Blood Ivory"; proofing and editing #3 "Return of the Starfighter"; proofing and editing our historical fiction western, "The Nations"; finishing chapt. 1 of my new historical fiction western, "The Falls" and helping Warren Martin edit and correct his novel, "Forgotten Soldiers". That's my story and I'm sticking to it. LOL


message 1: by Joyce

Joyce Godwin-Grubbs Ken I have both books but am having time constraints due to deadlines; however, you can count on me for reviews as soon as I finish them. No way I would miss one of your books given the opportunity. They are sitting on my kindle which keeps trying to woo me away from my work. LOL
