About the authors

Doris Daley’s love of wordsmithing has made her one of North America’s favourite Western poets, emcees, and Western humorists. Born and raised on a family ranch in the foothills of Alberta, Doris’ authentic, sparkling poetry has taken her to campfires large and small, to highways, roundabouts and gravel roads all throughout the West.
