I was thrilled to be interviewed by the very talented Jean Henry Mead on her blogsite "Writers of the West". I feel like I've hit the bigtime... if you go over to take a look, stay and check out the many interviews she's conducted over the years with Western luminaries, including some of my all-time favorites: Will Henry, Jory Sherman, Elmer Kelton, Peggy Simpson Curry, Dorothy Parker (kinda), and many more.

Writers of the West
Troy D. Smith was born in the Upper Cumberland region of Tennessee in 1968. He writes in a variety of genres, achieving his earliest successes with westerns -his first published short story appeared in 1995 in Louis L'Amour Western Magazine, and he won the Spur Award in 2001 for the novel Bound for the Promise-Land and in 2017 for the short story "Odell's Bones" (being a finalist on two other occasions.) He received his PhD in history from the University of Illinois, and is currently a history professor at Tennessee Tech.
