WILLIAM A. LUCKEY -- Author of Historical Fiction & Contemporary Tales

Born in New England, William Albert Luckey was a fan of horses at age one. Luckey moved West to work with horses and write stories about them, and incidentally write about the fascinating characters that appear around the animals.
Eventing, dressage, working cattle, five-day trail rides, and most of all fox-hunting for 20 seasons have given Luckey a well-rounded ease with horses. “I found out I had a way with reworking spoiled or abused horses, in the 70s, before all the ‘horse whisperer’ talk. In fact I went back to the late 1800s to read up on John Rarey, the first well-documented ‘whisperer’. Others like Henry Blake and Kell Jeffries did share their ideas, and by putting together what worked for me, I was able to reclaim horses that otherwise would have gone to slaughter.’
The current story, FIVE CENT RETURN, is about such an abused horse, and how the company of a horse can change a human. Luckey’s first book, HIGH LINE RIDER, came out in 1985.
