About Three Corner Rustlers

Paths intersect and twist from Silicon Valley, to Colorado, to the wide-open spaces of the high desert of the Three Corner country of Oregon, Idaho, and Nevada. Three Corner Rustlers is a contemporary story featuring an estranged daughter, Carson, who is returning to her childhood home; C.J., an ex-con whose life is changed by an unusual mentor a wild mustang named Rio; plus a criminal network of cattle thieves, Federal agents, and a rancher whose livelihood is threatened. The journeys of these characters are woven together in this modern-day tale to surprising conclusions. Hamilton conceived the idea for the novel in 2009 after reading articles from the Bend Bulletin about cattle rustling in the vast ION country where Idaho, Oregon, and Nevada come together. Around that time, she also saw the documentary The Wild Horse Redemption, by John Zaritsky, about a tempestuous mustang paired with an inmate.

"I started assembling a cast of favorite characters and decided the story of the inmate, who only got a moment with "his" horse, was unacceptable and worked him into my story," said Hamilton.

After fine-tuning her work with an editor and finding a publisher, Hamilton released her book through Dark Planet Publishing in the Spring of 2016. The audio book will be available on iTunes and Amazon later this year. She is currently working on a sequel, Three Corner Fire. http://www.amazon.com/The-Three-Corner-Rustlers-Hamilton/dp/1944163018

About K. Hamilton

Author K. Hamilton, a successful small business owner in Marin since 1984, was originally from the East Coast. Her family encouraged her creative side with a good education and broad life experience.

She's avid equestrian, outspoken sustainable ranching advocate, longtime Novato Horseman's member, and a mentor in a program that helps recovering cancer patients through natural horsemanship.

K. Hamilton has followed and admired the horsemanship of several incredible horsemen and women, the pillars that today's clinicians stand on, and she credits their wisdom and her own mentors with helping her appreciate the amazing horses in her life. She used this experiential working knowledge of horsemanship, combined it with real news stories of cattle rustling, and a story about a wild mustang and an inmate, then let her imagination create her first novel: a contemporary Western titled Three Corner Rustlers.

Choosing to write under a family name as a loving homage to her mother, K. Hamilton (nee Kim Vogee) has lived in Marin for the past thirty years. Hoping to eventually make writing a full time occupation, she and her husband, John, three horses, and three dogs, live and work from their Thistledew Ranch in Marin County. www.facebook.com/Three-Corner-Rustlers-1712852365614884/
