Autorenporträt
David A. Bowles is a fifth-generation Austinite. Both parents' families were early Travis County pioneers. His Great-grandmother, Elnora Van Cleve, is recorded as the first birth in Austin, Texas during the days of the Republic. He named his dog Becka after Rebeckah Mitchell-Smith, his Great-great-grandmother, matriarch of the family. The author and Becka travel extensively, telling and writing the stories of the Westward Sagas. David grew up listening to the stories of his ancestors told by his elders. Their stories so fascinated him that he became a professional storyteller, spinning tales through the Westward Sagas as well as the spoken word.
