Whether rummaging through abandoned forts and ghost towns, roaming vast forlorn plains, or hiking through obscure historic sites and parks, Leon Loy carefully researches for accuracy and authenticity the settings and characters for his novels. Loy's broad and varied life experiences include newspaper sports writer, photo darkroom tech, supermarket owner, shoe salesman, pastor, father, and vintage guitar collector. Loy lives with his wife and King Charles Cavalier Spaniel in small towns in Mississippi and Texas. Girl with the Flat Tire is his third novel.
