About Kevan Hunt
The stories in this series suggested themselves as I came to know this unique corner of northeast California near the Nevada border rooted in pioneer history and the Gold Rush. My favorite characters to create and write about are ones that are fundamentally flawed, struggling to face their challenges, and nonetheless, somehow find a way to either redeem or remake themselves.
