Author Biography
About the author: Rocky Bills is the author of The Rogue Gallery book series. The youngest child in the family, he was left at home while siblings attended school three years ahead of him. His earliest childhood memories are of days spent with his constant companion, Strikey, a collie dog professed to be descendant of one of the lassie lines. The bond was extremely strong between him and the family dog, and his lifelong relationship with animals was permanently embedded into his values. This obsession with four legged critters has remained with him throughout life, except for the briefest of times there has always been a dog as a family member. After a career in management and several small businesses, an opportunity surfaced allowing him to indulge in his ultimate obsession, horses. Already a horse owner for some time, he purchased a horse trail riding business. It's a good thing the objective was not to make money, as it was a real money looser, but it allowed him to live his dream. Every day was spent training, riding, and caring for the horses. With an old cowboy as teacher, he learned more about horses and equine behavior than he ever expected to in his lifetime. The work was hard, the heat and humidity stifling, but it was some of the best times of his life. After his father passed away he moved to southern California to live with his mother, so they could take care of each other. Although it was time to get out of the horse ownership business, the bonds still remain. Writing the series has kept the dream alive, and combining his interest with medieval history has been recreational if not therapeutic.
