Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

Something a little different today. My friend, writer (author!), rancher AND mustang advocate (and mom and grandma, titles she might be most proud of? :)) Kathryn Wilder has a new book on shelves right now!

Saturday evening, at Mama Bear’s Bakery and Books in Dolores, Colorado, Kat held a “birthday party” for her new book, The Last Cows: On Ranching, Wonder, and a Woman’s Heart.

They had a feast of a spread, Kat’s daughter-in-law served coffee and chai and other drinks the bakery is well known for brewing, and Kat’s sons, Ken and Tyler, and grandchildren, Lacey and Lucas, were in attendance among friends and customer-friends!

Kat read from her new book, answered questions and had folks laughing and commiserating with her narrative prose.

The Durango Herald had a fantastic review recently, and if you are local (or are passing through at the right time), Kat will be doing readings Tuesday evening at Maria’s Bookshop in Durango and Thursday evening at Back of Beyond Books in Moab.

More cows than mustangs, but if you read Desert Chrome and fell in love with Kat’s lyrical writing style and stories from the sage country (and above and below), read The Last Cows. You will NOT be disappointed (Disappointment Valley, get it? :)).
