Episode Synopsis

 Ken Farmer didn’t write his first full novel until he was sixty-nine years of age. He often wonders what the hell took him so long. At age seventy-eight…he’s currently working on novel number thirty-four. Ken spent thirty years raising cattle and quarter horses in Texas and forty-five years as a professional actor (after a stint in the Marine Corps). Those years gave him a background for storytelling…or as he has been known to say, “I’ve always been a bit of a bull—t artist, so writing novels kind of came naturally once it occurred to me I could put my stories down on paper.”Ken’s writing style has been likened to a combination of Louis L’Amour and Terry C. Johnston with an occasional Hitchcockian twist…now that’s a combination.In addition to his love for writing fiction, he likes to teach acting, voice-over, and writing workshops. His favorite expression is: “Just tell the damn story.”Writing has become Ken’s second life: he has been a Marine, played collegiate football, been a Texas wildcatter, cattle and horse rancher, professional film and TV actor and director, and now…a novelist. Who knew?Ken Farmer’s dialogue flows like a beautiful western river…it’s the gold standard…Carole BeersVISIT THE AMAZON AUTHOR PAGEhttps://www.amazon.com/Ken-Farmer/e/B0057OT3Y – Amazon Author pagehttps://www.facebook.com/KenFarmerAuthor/ – FaceBookhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/2106909899538576/ – FaceBook Fandom Page
