Patrick Dearen, in his award-winning novel, THE BIG DRIFT, traces the astounding migration of cattle when a devastating blizzard swept across the Great Plains.
"Patrick Dearen's novels sweep the reader away on adventures as gritty and haunting as the West Texas wind. His newest work,The Big Drift, is no exception. With characters as unyielding as granite and as flawed as a busted four-wire fence, Dearen paints a word picture so compelling as to draw his readers into a maelstrom of dire situations and emotions that linger long after the book has been put away."

Interview with Patrick Dearen
"The two writing disciplines, fiction and nonfiction, complement one another. My nonfiction research gives me some of the necessary ideas and background for my novels, such as To Hell or the Pecos. When I write a novel, it forces me to do additional research, which in turn can (and has) led to more nonfiction books."
