ⓘ About Dusty Richards
If there was a Saturday early showing, Dusty was always there with Hoppy, Roy and Gene. He went to roundup at seven years of age, sat on a genuine stallion and watched them brand calves on the Peterson Ranch in a place named Othello, Washington. At the point when his family vacated to Arizona from the Midwest, at age 13, he knew he’d gone to paradise. His very own steed, farms to chip away at, rodeos to drive in, Dusty’s mom stressed all his development years he’d end up being some “old cattle rustler bum.” He read each western novel and story book on the library racks. He sat on the stoop of Zane Gray’s lodge on Mrs. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Rodeo Riders Books series, Dusty Richards has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
