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.

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.
Bob Sullivan, Jr. of Kansas City dreamed of being a cowboy from his
earliest years. Not until an abrupt disillusionment with college athletics
in 1975 did he drop out of school and move to Wyoming to pursue his dream at
age 19. 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.
