About the author
Peter Alan Turner
72 books9 followersWriting has always been a lifelong dream. Finally, at 71 years young, that dream became a reality. I am honored to be part of Dusty Saddles Publishing, the leading publisher of Western Novels. Currently, I have several Western Series on Amazon: Chet Henderson: Texas Ranger Adventure Series, Bear Willis: Mountain Man Series, and Willie McGee: Mountain Man Series. Along with a co-write with my granddaughter.
In creating my Westerns, I wanted to do three things, be authentic, create likable characters, and tell a good story. With a lot of hard work and prayer, my books have been well received, so, I must be doing something right.
I live with my wife of fifty-three years and our cat Moxie on Rattlesnake Ridge. We are lucky that our children, grandchildren, and great-grandson all live close by. When I'm not writing, I enjoy woodcarving, fishing, and pampering my classic Jaguar.
I donate a portion of the profits from my books to Veteran charities, including the Veteran’s Independence Project.

Willie McGee is an enjoyable read. The plot of this book is very similar to "Little Big Man" which I read many years ago, and which was made into a good movie with Dustin Hoffman about 50 years ago. Both Willie McGee and Little Big Man have as plot a young reporter interviewing an elderly man who may or may not be telling the truth about his life. I find Willie McGee a more amusing read than Little Big Man. I think I would have liked to have met in real life Willie McGee, He was a card! I hope that the author writes many more books about ole Willie!

Willie's Birthday
The story of an old western cowboy/mountain man. Well written with a unique approach in the telling of the tail from a newspaper reporter's perspective. Definitely worth reading. I'd highly recommend it.
