Ronald A. Cox (Claude, TX) Past President - short story "Kiowa Wells" in the
New Traditions in Terror Anthology. He is working on "Balmorea," a literary
ficton work.>writes as R. Austin Carter Austin was born in the Lone Star State
and he's been living the Texas dream ever since. After graduating from High
School in the Texas Panhandle, Austin moved South and attended Texas
Tech University where his main interests included women, beer, and Rodeo.
Today, Austin lives and works in relative solitude on his Texas Panhandle
cattle ranch with his wife and their two young sons. Austin has written a
number of short stories, and two novels under a different name. His latest
book, SKIN CHANGER, is the first full length novel he's written as R. Austin
Carver. "I used to write Westerns - Historical Fiction if you're being PC about
it," R.A. says softly in closing. "That was a more innocent time." Reading the
hard-edged Western/Suspense/Horror fiction he writes today, one wonders
where R. Austin Carver's innocence has gone, or if indeed this tall Texan
ever had any.
