The Kind of Western I'd Like to Read-Hope Deferred-Part Two Buc Keene

Part two of The Kind of Western I'd Like to read continues with the on-going saga of Colton and Sonny Saber, as they rope and ride their way through the Old West and a couple of young girls hearts. Adventure, danger and romance rise to meet them like a long old Texas road and they gallop towards it head on with all of the energy of boys turning to men. Dwight (Buc) Keene is a life-time resident of Washington State and grew up on a stump farm the forth of ten kids and dreaming of becoming a cowboy and having a horse some day. He always maintained he should have been born in Texas. He met his wife Janis in a little country church the family attended and she provides much of the inspiration for the romance of this story. They moved to the Olympic Peninsula shortly after their marriage where they had a small cattle operation and he owned his first horse. They eventually moved to the Columbia Basin in Eastern Washington where he was involved in the hay and cattle business for several years while their family was growing up. The couple currently resides on a one hundred and twenty year old mountain homestead in the Olympic Mountains after having moved back to the Peninsula to open a feed store and gun shop. They have four grown children and eight grandchildren and Buc finds time between his family and business interests to allow his faith to inform his writing and love of humor, adventure, the outdoors and all things cowboy.
