About the author

By age six, Australian Ian Stuart Anderson already knew what he wanted to be when he grew up — a red-coated Canadian Mountie. By the age of seven, he also knew he wanted to be a writer.

Anderson served in the RCMP for 16 years. He returned to Australia, where he worked as a private investigator and wrote his Scarlet Rider Series - seven novels of the historic North-West Mounted Police, beginning with CORPORAL CAVANNAGH.

He published his first three books in Canada under the name Ian S Anderson. Zebra Books later reprinted the first titles and added four new ones, releasing them under the name "Ian Anderson."

In 2000, he published SITTING BULL'S BOSS, an account of the friendship between the Lakota war chief and Major James Walsh of the Mounted Police.
