David A. Bowles, author of the Westward Sagas was a member of the Tejas Storytelling Association, the National Storytelling Network, and the International Society of Family History Writers and Editors. He enjoyed sharing what he learned from his historical and genealogical research.
David grew up listening to his parents, aunts, and uncles telling stories about his ancestors. As a child, he loved to sit on the front porch of his aunt and uncle’s ranch house at the end of the day, eating fresh peaches and listening to the family stories his relatives told.
After years of research, he started writing a series of novels about his ancestors. Although the stories are consistent with known history, he wrote the books as fiction to include dialogue and to fill in the gaps in the historical records.
