Brent Towns

A relative newcomer to the world of writing, Brent Towns self-published his first book, a Western, in 2015. Last Stand in Sanctuary took him two years to write. His first hardcover book, a Black Horse Western, was published the following year.

Since then, he has written twenty-six Western stories, including some in collaboration with British Western author, Ben Bridges. He has also written the novelization to the upcoming 2019 movie from One-Eyed Horse Productions, Bill Tilghman and the Outlaws, as well as scripted a handful of Commando Comics. Not bad for an Australian author, he thinks.

A country town in Queensland, Australia, is where Brent lives with his wife and son. In the past, he worked as a seaweed factory worker and a knife-hand in an abattoir, mowed lawns and tidied gardens, and worked in caravan parks and the hire industry. Currently, as well as writing books, he is a home tutor for his son doing distance education.

Brent’s love of reading used to take over his life. Now, it’s writing that does that. Often up until the small hours of the night, bashing away at his tortured keyboard, Brent loves to lose himself in the world of fiction.
