A lifelong artist and writer, Madison K. Thames grew up riding horses, participated in rodeos, and remains proud that she won her first calf scramble. After graduating from Auburn University in 2018 with a BFA degree, she launched her career as a professional artist, creating a wide variety of commissions for clients and selling her work at comic book conventions. Meanwhile, her love of the American West continued to grow, and an idea sparked in her mind—an epic tale of revenge and redemption. This idea inspired Madison to make her dream of becoming a published author reality.
