Welcome, friends

In case you're wondering -- This is me...

                  ...and this is the Peanut playing dress-up with her fox.

Dennis Doty earned his iconic cowboy hat the hard way. A former U.S. Marine, Dennis spent his younger years soaking up the cowboy culture from his grandfather who lived the life. He spent his first 50 years in the West, including two years riding rough stock on the old Southwest RCA Rodeo Circuit. He's settled down now, but that doesn't stop him from taking these experiences and weaving captivating tales of the old west.

Dennis is the Content Executive for Oghma Creative Media and the Publisher at Saddlebag Dispatches Magazine.

He presently resides in Appalachia with his wife and their two dogs and fills his time helping fellow writers on their journey. When he isn't writing, you can find him swapping lies with the other old-timers and yelling at kids to get off his lawn ... or so he claims. Those closer to him smirk and tell tales of him teasing them with tasty foods and the latest adventures of Peanut's chew-toys being lost among couch cushions or worn as fashion statements.

Dennis hopes you enjoy your visit here. Feel free to follow him on Facebook at www.facebook.com/authordennisdoty1, request his newsletter, or use the contact form below to get in touch.
