About the author

Steve Weddle’s THE LAST OUTLAW CAMP, pitched as DEADWOOD meets BOARDWALK EMPIRE, the story of a small town boy who returns home and becomes embroiled in some ill-conceived ransom plans with local scofflaws and ornery characters, set against the unyielding backdrop of the Great Depression, to Alison Dasho at Lake Union Publishing, for publication in 2024, by Josh Getzler at HG Literary (world).

Weddle's Country Hardball (Tyrus, 2013) was called "downright dazzling" by the New York Times. The French translation, Le Bon Fils, will be published in 2016 by Gallmeister.

His most recent short story, "South of Bradley," appears in Playboy magazine.
