Tim Champlin
Novelist Tim Champlin was born in Fargo, North Dakota, only 80 miles from Jamestown, North Dakota where fellow western novelist Louis L’Amour was born 29 years earlier. Similarities in their histories don’t end there. They both have French/Irish ancestry and the fathers of both writers were large-animal veterinarians–a fact that may explain their mutual love of horses, buffaloes and other wild and domestic critters.

Drawing on his familiarity with the West,his knowledge of western fiction and his admiration for L’Amour, Champlin has written THE WILD WEST OF LOUIS L’AMOUR for Voyageur Press in Minnesota. This well-illustrated book was published August 5, 2015 and is currently available for order on Amazon. This is a must-read for L’Amour fans and anyone interested in western fiction and how it relates to the historic west.
