Editorial Reviews

Review

"Ken is a magnificent writer. I enjoy everything he writes whether it is about the old west, like this book, or about the modern Black Eagle Force." Farmer's books have Hitchcockian twists and surprise endings. He writes very well and captures the manner of speaking of his characters. We identify with his characters who are portrayed in a likeable and sympathetic manner. This is a book that readers will like." - Israel Drazin TOP 1000 REVIEWER & VINE VOICE.

Ken Farmer named to the Hall of Fame for Western Writers Ken has written and released 50 novels to date. Has multiple Best-Sellers and has won nine awards so far, including: Two Laramie Awards, One Clue Award, Four Firebird Awards and an Eric Hoffer Award.

Ken Farmer's dialogue flows like a beautiful western river...it's the gold standard. - Carole Beers

Ken Farmer didn't write his first full novel until he was sixty-nine years of age. He often wonders what the hell took him so long. At age seventy-nine, he released novel #37 on Sept. 19th, 2020...THREE CREEKS. it just may be his opus. He has released book two in the THREE CREEKS series...RED HILL ROAD, followed by book #3 in the series...THE POND.

The THREE CREEKS series is late 1940s Southern Noir Mysteries in the vein of To Kill a Mockingbird and The Rock Hole by Reavis Wortham. Ken's new publisher, Dusty Saddle Publishing, just released novel #50...FOOT & HUCH, book #9 of the Three Creeks Mystery series. The first in the series, THREE CREEK won the Firebird Award for Best Mystery of 2020. Book #2 RED HILL ROAD has won the Firebird Award for Best Mystery of 2021 and Best Southern Noir - 2021.

Novel #36 was SKINWALKER JUSTICE, a Western Supernatural thriller, book #5 in the Silke Justice series.

STEELDUST, started the BONE & LORAINE spin-off with modern day detectives, Bone and Loraine being accidentally transported back in time to 1898. Current WIP is novel #51...TOBYMAN, book #3 of the Best Selling COLTRANE classic western series.

Ken spent thirty years raising Beefmaster cattle and Quarter horses in Texas and forty-five years as a professional actor (after a stint in the Marine Corps). Those years gave him a background for storytelling…or as he has been known to say, "I've always been a bit of a bull---t artist, so writing novels kind of came naturally once it occurred to me I could put my stories down on paper. I don't write about outlaws and peace officers...I write about people.

Ken's writing style has been likened to a combination of Louis L'Amour and Terry C. Johnston with an occasional Hitchcockian twist.

In addition to his love for writing fiction, he likes to teach acting, voice-over and writing workshops. His favorite expression is: "Just tell the damn story."

Writing has become Ken's second life: he has been a Marine, played collegiate football, been a Texas wildcatter, cattle and horse rancher, professional film and TV actor and now...a novelist. Who knew?

I've read many Zane Grey and Louis L'Amour novels, but I enjoy Ken Farmer's the best! - Dr. Ernest Martin, DDS.

And NO! I don't write about Rome. I don't write erotica...It's not me.

Why did this man wait to start writing so late in life? He is so gifted! Good storyline, well-developed characters, true to time period. Delightful read right up to the really serious end - then I cried with the characters.

This is a really good read, only had one complaint though

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2019

The book is great, I loved the story. But I'm not sure all those ellipses are necessary and actually make it somewhat cumbersome reading when they seem to pop up everywhere. Other than that, it's a great story and makes you feel like you have transported back in time no doubt!

Thoroughly enjoyable very different western

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2020

Verified Purchase

Well written- enjoyed the banter between the characters, and the tidbits of history dropped in here and there. Also that the author uses words correctly that are not so often seen. The airship crash in Aurora in 1897- did it happen or was it a town hoax? Definitely something did happen back on April 17, 1897 in Aurora, and there were articles in newspapers of that time about it. There is a grave from that time period that they cemetery officials won't let anyone exhume as that takes permission from next of kin- but there was metal detected in the grave (both marker and metal disappeared from the grave after a ufo research filmed about it). Apparently pieces of metal have been found in trees around the alleged crash site. Time magazine had an interview with an elderly resident who claimed that it was a hoax, although she would have been too young to likely recall the crash. She claimed it was a hoax and there had never been a windmill on the Judge's property- and yet there certainly was evidence found that there had been a windmill that had been destroyed by something, so that kind of debunks her debunking story, and there were records of people reporting sighting something (described mainly as cigar-shaped) in the skies of the area all over the country prior to the alleged crash of something metallic- and the well with the windmill was found to have some metal pieces in it of aluminum and some other unidentified substance. Interesting if you care to try to hunt up info about it in old papers, etc. However, that is not the main focus of the book, just one of the side plot lines. Mainly it is the story of 3 lawmen and a lady law Marshall who pursue a gang of robbers, and have a run-in or 2 with others along the way, with some history of the times, places and people of that era tossed in mainly via conversations among the characters. The plot has a few twists and a bit of suspense here and there.

Believable vs. a Real Stretch!

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2017

Verified Purchase

Really good, well-drawn characters...until the author threw in the spacecraft story. Could have left that premise out and this reader would have been much happier. I read western novels to hearken back to a more simple life, where men and women were challenged by life, and death could be a whisper away. I like the danger, bad vs. good, etc., but can we either have cowboys or space cadets? To the author's credit, I finished the book.

KF. has penned an Oklahoma western action adventure titled, "Flynn". Which begins with two bank robberies in three days in Sheriff Flynn's county. A posses is formed and after the second day they feel they are closing the gap. They were not. The Sheriff was thought to be one of the robberies and thats when the Sheriff remembered that he had a twin brother who had been raised as a Comanche. Then they find Lucy who is a survivor of a space craft. This is an excellent read for the genre.....DEHS

"MEETING LUCY"

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2017

Verified Purchase

Sci-Fi in westerns can be a hit or miss. This particular version of "The Nation" kinda leaves a lot to be desired. But you can get used to just about anything. Not bad, but I hope that there is a continuing of plot of "Lucy the space visitor" and Flynn, Fiona, Bodie, Bushy Bill, will be together in the next series.... I love the names that these characters have been anointed with..funny and very descriptive..Well another coffee has been introduced"FOLGERS"..so everyone keep your coffee hot hot and sweet..

I know Ken and his passion for writing all genre of books. But his westerns are special. Some of his characters are taken from our own American history. He breathes life into them and makes me want to know more about them. He weaves his stories around them. I'm proud to call him Friend.
