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.
