A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

C R Strahan has lived in the American West from New Mexico to the Pacific Northwest, with a quarter century in Colorado. She writes of conflict and controversy on the canvas of the western landscape, painting stories of family where money meets nature, cultures collide, and personal values are called into question. Her first novel The Roan Maverick, based on the history of Wyoming’s Cattle War, resulted from her tenure as research assistant to the foremost authority on the subject and has received uncommon praise from the descendants of both sides of that historical insurrection. Her second novel, Sleeping With Eagles, was written from the context of her years of living in Colorado’s Eagle Valley and chronicles the modern life of the ranching Delaney family, who in the 1970s find themselves entering dilemma as Vail begins to boom and tourism threatens to overturn the agricultural economy they have spent five generations building. In novel three, Lucid Dreaming, Strahan explores the history of a contemporary Montana ranching family’s genetic bloodline as well as their cosmic bloodline, and the mysterious connection between past-life encounters and ancestry. Watercolor draws Past into Present and Spirit into Flesh in a fast-paced thriller of transformation in its simplest and most complex forms. In her novel Tango’s Mirror a world renowned actor faces the dilemma fame has dealt him: The secret of his extraordinary art was his ability to observe human interaction anonymously, thereby gaining insight into the emotions on display in ordinary life—it was his ability to become a fly-on-the-wall that made him famous, and fame has destroyed his ability to become a fly-on-the-wall. C R Strahan has eight years of higher education in Humanities, with emphasis in English & Literature, Fine Art, History, and Business Administration. A student of Core Shamanism, she is descended from Cowboys & Indians; Ranchers & Sodbusters; Builders & Artists—and independent women ahead of their time. She currently resides in the Montana.
