Christopher Burchfield has worked for the U.S. National Park Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Bureau of Reclamation and the U.S. Forest Service. In the more distant past he was employed by IBM and prior to that operated a landscape business.
For the past thirty years he has been researching the history of Gold Rush California. Chris has had articles published in numerous magazines and newspapers, including The Californians, California Mining Journal, California Highway Patrol, True West and Old West magazines. In 2003 he published the book Choose Your Weapon—The Duel in California 1847-1861.
During the last decade of the last millennium, while working for the first three federal agencies noted above, he became aware that personnel alterations were severely impacting the performance of each unit. But, it was only after his employment with the U.S. Forest Service that he became truly aware of the devastating affects political correctness was having on the morale and performance of federal employees. As a result, his focus of research turned from Western History toward this contemporary issue of great significance.

Kay Kendall, while growing up in the bucolic Flint Hills of Kansas, dreamt of returning to her father’s ancestral home of Texas and becoming a latter-day Nancy Drew or John Le Carré. Instead, higher education and circumstance led her down a long and winding road (footnote, the Beatles) to Harvard, Canada, international corporate communications, Russia and, finally, to her beloved Texas.
In the spring of 2013, with the assistance of Stairway Press, she takes a leap in the direction of Nancy Drew and le Carré with publication of her debut historical mystery, DESOLATION ROW. She works on its sequel at her home shared with her husband and Wills the cavalier King Charles spaniel, plus five house rabbits—while aspiring to become an author able to say she “lives part-time in the Cotswolds,” an anglophile’s version of her upbringing.
