Alias the Kansas Kid

by John R. Rose

Overview

Dan Robbins wasn't looking for trouble, but trouble had a way of finding him. He searched for a life and career the complete opposite of his father's outlaw methods. When he demonstrated the same proficiency with a gun, folks wouldn't leave well enough alone ... until it was too late.
Set in the late 1800s, Alias the Kansas Kid is a western novel of redemption and budding romance -- and action-packed gun-slinging.

About the Author

JOHN R. ROSE, author of "Alias the Kansas Kid," was born in the latter days of the dust bowl era in south central Kansas. His birthplace was probably thirty to fifty miles from the fictional character Dan Robbins' birthplace. Otherwise, there is no connection between the author and the Kansas Kid.
There were seven siblings of the author and they all liked to read. Being raised on a sandhill farm, there was plenty of work and not much time for other activities. When the work was done, the primary activity was reading and listening to the radio adventure programs.
Rose attended college on basketball and track scholarships, earning a degree in education. He spent 37 years teaching and coaching in the Kansas public school systems.
At an early age, he became a collector of books, magazines and comics involving characters such as Tarzan, The Lone Ranger, Zorro, Flash Gordon, Red Ryder, and dozens of other characters.
The author is married and with his wife, Meredith, they have two children. Son, Michael, lives in Colorado and daughter, Anne Marie, lives in Arizona. Both are fans of their father's writings.
Since retirement, the author spends a great amount of time at the computer writing stories.
