Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities. Truth isn't.

It is not easy to describe ones self, but I will give it my best. I apologize in advance if it is a little short.

I am C. Daniel Collins.

Thank you and I hope you enjoy reading the stories I have written and posted for your pleasure.


I suppose that is too short. If you have not yet read the brief description of myself provided on the main page, I shall reiterate. I'm a cowhand, ranch hand, cowpuncher, cowboy--call me what you will (as long as it is not a buckaroo); who has decided to step down off the fence and into the literary corral to create my own western fiction narrative.

I have dappled in the art of creative fiction for as long a time as now can barely be remembered. Though I did not became a true practitioner of the craft until I happened upon Owen Wister's The Virginian. In it I saw for the first time how beautiful and awe-inspiring the written word can be.

Since then I have aspired to reach the same height of perfection in my own work. However, as the old saying goes, " it is easier said then done". The day when I finally achieve this lofty goal is still before me, but until then the ambition in me to reach it has not gone lax.

Thank you and I hope you enjoy reading.
