Award-winning writer Charles E. “Chuck” Edmonson grew up deep in the heart of Texas, with a passion for the Old West. Born a stone's throw from the historic Alamo in San Antonio, Chuck was the fourth of eight children in the family of native Texan Jack W. E. Edmonson and Mattie S. Deville Edmonson.

For the formative years of his life, his summers were spent on the plains and cotton fields of West Texas, out of which grew a respect for the land and a love of history. He still is captivated by the enchantment of West Texas, and is driven to capture in words the spirit of the region.

Chuck now hangs his hat in the Pacific Northwest with his wife, Cheryl. He has two daughters, Chelsea and Christa.
