Art Isberg

Art Isberg writes westerns, both novels and short stories. A freelance writer for more than four decades, he has explored unmapped ghost towns, followed ancient wagon ruts of pioneers across western deserts, and successfully dug up bandit treasure taken in a Wells Fargo robbery. He has published six novels and over 300 short stories and articles. His writing has been featured in Outdoor Life, Field & Stream, Sports Afield, Safari, Bugle, Fly Fisherman, Saltwater Fisherman, and many other major outdoor press magazines. It has also been featured in Daily Republic, West Coast newspapers with stories about growing up through the war years of World War II, living in western mountains, and in the newsletters of western historical societies.

His westerns come from decades of being closely associated with real western history camping in old trail camps. His writing features the true flavor, fact and fiction of what the Old West was really like, and the unbelievable characters that lived through it. For a different kind of western, his four novels featured now, DESPERADOS, VENGEANCE AT QUIET CREEK, FONTANA, and RESSURECTON AT MEDINA, take the reader on a thrilling, life like adventure in the saddle of the men who made the west what it was. Art grew up around ranch cowboys working cattle who stayed at the trade even into the early 1900's. He draws many of his rich stories from those old timers and their experiences.
