Dave Lloyd

Dave Lloyd is a young adult and historical fiction author, poet, and short story author from Montana. The fourth-generation Montanan claims ancestry from a grandmother that came to the US on a steamboat and lived in Miles City. The great grandmother has been a huge influence in his career as an author as he would get stories handed down from her about the men and women that lived during the days of the Wild West. Growing up listening to the stories of how rowdy the times were, he became fascinated with the history of the time. He would later grow up and work as a cowboy and then as an assistant ranch manager in charge of one of the largest ranches in Montana. Working for the Western Cattle Company he was responsible for thousands of cattle and thousands of acres of land. He is known for his deep insights gleaned from his highly accurate historical work that creates characters that reflect the times. He has published more than ten novels in the “Riverboat,” “Ben Hite,” “Montana Saga,” and “Buffalo” series among many other single standing novels. Lloyd currently lives with Donna his wife in Helena, Montana, and in his novels often chronicles the history of the state which he has come to call home.
