When he was ten, Bowen's family moved to Bozeman, Montana, where a paper route introduced him to the grizzled old cowboys who frequented a bar called The Oaks. Listening to their stories, some of which stretched back to the 1870s, Bowen found inspiration for his later fiction. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Following time at the University of Michigan and the University of Montana, he published his first novel, \u003ci\u003eYellowstone Kelly\u003c\/i\u003e, in 1987. After two more novels featuring the real-life western hero, Bowen published \u003ci\u003eCoyote Wind\u003c\/i\u003e (1994), which introduced Gabriel Du Pré, a mixed-race lawman living in fictional Toussaint, Montana. He has written fifteen novels in the series, in which Du Pré gets tangled up in everything from cold-blooded murder to the hunt for rare fossils. Bowen continues to live and write in Livingston, Montana.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 252\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.57 x 8 x 5.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 05, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47246005108985,"sku":"9781504052351","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/TjI3NysrckZuTGFKa3lEWVdlbCs1QT09_c3fb657e-e25d-40e4-841d-f57904c55409.webp?v=1768610506","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/notches-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
