Stan Krumm is the author of Zachary's Horses and Zachary's Gold. He was raised about fifty miles from the historic town of Barkerville, BC. He has always been fascinated by its landscape and history—drawn into flights of fantasy by the fields and forests of the Quesnel River valley. When he wrote Zachary's Gold, about the gold rush of the 1860s, BC Bookworld called it the summer fiction "book to read." Stan lives in Quesnel, where he has a business, a wonderful family, and a cat named Max.
