Autorenporträt
David A. Bowles is a fifth-generation Austinite. Both parents are descended from early Travis County pioneers. His great grandmother, Elnora Van Cleve, is recorded as the first birth in Austin, Texas during the days of the Republic. David grew up listening to stories of his ancestors told by his elders. Their stories so fascinated him that he became a professional story-teller, spinning tales through the Westward Sagas as well as the spoken word. The author and his dog Becka travel the country, telling and writing the stories of the Westward Sagas. David entertains groups frequently about his adventures on the open road and the books he has written.
