Raised in Central Texas, David Mark Brown learned to ride horses at a young age. Then learned to hate them after a disastrous attempt to impress a girlfriend. He was five.

Turning instead to a life of poetry and prose he eventually migrated north to the University of Montana (the Berkeley of the Rockies) and became the Redneck Granola.

Quotes by David Mark Brown  (?)

“A man that knows how to be a friend will always find a friend when he needs one.”
David Mark Brown, Desert Gods

“It seemed fitting that the sheriff would be more concerned about his precious toys than about stomping out a terrible evil.”
David Mark Brown, Fistful of Reefer

“I occupied myself by watching my daughter sleep, the act of which impressed two things upon me. First, she possessed the ability to trust a madman we’d just met well enough to sleep. Second, I loved her for it. Why should she have to suffer like the rest of us?”
David Mark Brown, Desert Gods
