David J. West writes dark fantasy and weird westerns because the voices in his head won’t quiet until someone else can hear them. He is a great fan of sword & sorcery, ghosts and lost ruins, so of course he lives in Utah with his wife and children. These five books are what he call the Dark Trails Saga. They are action adventure historical thrillers with a gritty western flavor that sometimes flirts with the supernatural and sometimes not.
