Carl Brush has been writing since he could write, which is quite a long time now. His first historical thrillers, The Maxwell Vendetta, The Second Vendetta, and Swindle in Sawtooth Valley are set in early twentieth century San Francisco and the Sierra Nevada where he grew up. Two more-Bonita and Bonita's Quest, are set in the same locale, but in pre-civil war times. Finally, The Yellow Rose, a novel of the Texas Revolution, takes place in 1836 during the battles that led to Texas Statehood. You can find Carl living with his wife in Oakland, California where he enjoys the blessings of nearby children and grandchildren.
