R Allen Chappell

R. Allen Chappell grew-up amid the ethnic diversity of New Mexico where most of these stories are set. He grew up with the Navajo, went to school with and later worked alongside—forging enduring friendships along the way. "Those friendships became the inspiration for this series. My writing focuses on the people of the Four Corners region past and present. I tend not to romanticize my characters, preferring instead to paint them as I find them. They have much the same qualities, good and bad, as the rest of us."
