Author Information

DeLoy McAfee House has always been an enthusiast of history and literature. While celebrated early on, her writing talents took a back seat to helping put her husband through college, raising their two sons, and later on nursing her husband through a long illness. Her first novel was written in 1963, though it was never published. DeLoy lived most of her life in Roswell, New Mexico, and now resides in Bakersfield, California. As a lover of history, DeLoy has painstakingly researched and fact-checked many details about the Civil War in the West, a part of history that has been largely ignored. Not only do her books bring to life both the tumultuous nature of the times and the personal struggles of the characters, but her tireless dedication to historical accuracy brings these tales to life in a whole new way.
