Autorenporträt
S. J. Dahlstrom, a fifth-generation Texan, lives and writes in West Texas with his wife and children. The books in his Wilder Good series have won multiple Western Heritage Awards and Will Rogers Medallions, a Spur Award from the Western Writers of America, and have been named finalists for the Lamplighter Award. Interested in all things outdoors and creative, Dahlstrom writes poetry while bowhunting and collects wildflower seeds when doing ranch work. He lives by the twin mottos 'Be Wilder' and 'Find Beauty' and is happiest when he doesn't have to comb his hair.
