Order of Bill Brooks Books

Bill Brooks stands as a remarkable figure in American Western fiction, having penned more than 20 novels in the genre—an achievement made even more extraordinary by the fact that he didn't pick up his pen to write Westerns until reaching his fifties.

Brooks's early life was marked by adventure and exploration. He left home at seventeen and spent several years as what he describes as "a wandering man," taking on various jobs and experiencing life in different locations. This diverse background provided him with rich worldly experience that would later inform his writing.

Eventually, Brooks established himself in the medical field, where he built a substantial career. He began as a respiratory therapist before advancing to management, spending 16 years overseeing cardio-pulmonary departments. It was only after retiring from this medical career that Brooks embarked on his second act as a novelist at age 50, proving that it's never too late to pursue a creative passion.
