About the Authors

Dennis and Victoria Arnette, siblings who reside in a mountainous region of the United States, have cherished outdoor activities and playing in nature since their youth. Their childhood, marked by a joyful environment and a close circle of friends, was filled with imaginative games where they envisioned themselves as kings, queens, knights, and robbers. They climbed trees, walls, and mountains, embracing every climbable challenge they encountered. Their adventures were further enriched by various trips with their parents. These experiences during their formative years naturally shaped them into fun-loving, hardworking, and creative individuals with vibrant imaginations.

Dennis and Victoria, while not professional writers, have always harbored the ambition to collaborate on a writing project. From an early age they were inspired by the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm. Their favorite childhood moments were spent in the evenings, listening to their parents read classic stories like "The Bremen Town Musicians," "Snow White," "Little Red Riding Hood," and "Cinderella" before bedtime. This early exposure fueled their longstanding aspiration to craft a fairy tale or a fictional story aimed at an adult audience.

During the stressful period of the pandemic, they embarked on a lighthearted project to distract themselves and bring laughter to their family. They soon realized that this project had far greater potential than initially expected. They dedicated themselves to creating this beautiful book, and sincerely hope you enjoy reading it as much as they enjoyed writing it.

Tour Wrap Up: Camp Coffee by Bob Sullivan, Jr.

 

 

Tales of a Wyoming Cowboy

 

Memoir / Nonfiction

Date Published: October 16, 2006

Publisher: The Lowell Press

 

Camp Coffee is not just about a person-Grant Beck-and his stories, it's about a way of life-the cowboy way of life. Most people will never feel the warmth of a high mountain campfire or experience the eye-burning smoke wafting from the branding coals. Few will have any firsthand experience of what the American cowboy was all about. Lots of books have been penned about lots of cowboys, both fictitous and real. But few cowboys have touched as many people in the encouraging way that Grant Beck has through his chosen profession. This is a must-have volume for all that are drawn to the essence of the western experience.

There he met and worked for Grant Beck at the Two Bar Spear Ranch in Pinedale, WY which had a life-changing impact on the author's life. His experiences in Wyoming and subsequent relationship with Grant Beck over the next 30 years inspired Sullivan to share the remarkable story of Grant Beck with others.
