Kevin Hogge

Kevin Hogge is an old west enthusiast who has ridden the trails of Wyatt Earp, Billy the Kid, Charlie Goodnight, and Col. Ranald Mackenzie. He is part of an elite group of riders and historians who have ridden the back country of Southern Arizona, following the trail of Wyatt Earp and his Vendetta Posse in search of the men who killed his brother, Morgan Earp. He has ridden the trails of Billy the Kid through the mountains of Lincoln New Mexico, where no one had been for a century. With a hard riding group of friends, and horsemen, he has run New Mexico's tough and historic terrain from Santa Fe's Copper Canyon, to the Sangre de Christo Mountains. Add the Palo Duro Canyons in Amarillo Texas where Col. Mackenzie led the final battle to defeat the Comanche, and the Kiowa, he has touched history in a manner which few people have ever attempted.

He was born in Virginia at a time when TVs were black and white, and westerns ruled the air waves. With heroes like Matt Dillon, and Wyatt Earp, he was drawn to a study of the people and places leading our nation's westward expansion. Now through years of research and exploration he has become a respected authority of old west history.

It is with this background and experience that he writes of the old west in a way that few can accomplish. Using his own experience on horseback, riding where the most important events of our western history occurred, he writes through exciting and colorful characters set in places to capture the imagination. His novels are historical/fiction with fast paced story lines to keep his readers asking for more.

He is a member of the Western Writers of America and the Wild West History Association.
