Write what you know is the foundation of a good author. Louis certainly lived and breathed the world around him and shared his experiences through his novels and stories. From CONAGHER (https://www.louislamour.com/novels/conagher.htm) At sunset Evie walked away from the cabin and stood alone, her hair stirring a little in the faint breeze. She stood on the edge of the trail, a hundred yards from the cabin. All was very still. She never tired of the mornings and evenings here, the soft lights, the changing colors of sunlight and cloud upon the hills, the stirring of wind in the grass. Out here there was no escaping the sky or the plains, and Evie knew that until she came west she had never really known distance. The air was incredibly clear. Fresh and cool as it was, one breathed it in like drinking cool water; and always there was a definite odor on it, the odor depending on the direction from which the wind blew: the smell of cedar, and of pines beyond, the smell of sage, or, from the dryer lands after a rain, the smell of the creosote bush. #louislamour #writewhatyouknow https://www.instagram.com/p/CpyHLrLP_x3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
