Haug, Frank N.: - Frank Haug draws inspiration from his roots along the Rio Grande in Colorado's San Luis Valley. As a dedicated attorney, community college professor, farmer, and author, he embodies the spirit of a fourth-generation Coloradan. His great-grandfather, also named Frank Haug, owned saloons in bustling mining towns throughout 1800s Colorado, including in Creede, Leadville, and Denver. Frank's writing passionately explores the American West. It tackles critical issues faced by small-town America, with a special focus on resonating with rural men. Yet, the themes he presents transcend regional boundaries. His stories possess a universal appeal that captivates a diverse readership. With a commitment to crafting accessible and enjoyable fiction, he thoughtfully engages with philosophical, historical, cultural, political, and religious themes. As a philosophy major and former prosecutor, he explores how justice and moral systems succeed and fail in our modern world. The overwhelmingly positive feedback from readers on platforms like Amazon and Goodreads is a testament to the appeal of his work. Now residing in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Frank shares a small farm with his wife and three sons, where they raise and market sheep and lamb, tend a flock of chickens, pasture llamas, and embrace the beauty of the Rocky Mountains. His work invites readers to experience and reflect on the values and stories that define not just rural America, but the human experience as a whole.
