Musings Under a Buckboard

Author Rick Taylor grew up in the East End of Pittsburgh and graduated from Denison University, where he majored in English with an emphasis on writing. He authored several short stories before and after transitioning to writing legal briefs following his graduation from Pitt Law School. But the writing bug never left him. His poetry has been featured in Eureka, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, The California Quarterly, and Good News, a local Shepherdstown newspaper, and he has published several collections, including Never Alone in a Cemetery, Headstone in the Headlights, and Musings Under a Buckboard. In 2005, his poem "Foxfire" was awarded third place in the 2005 Penn Writers Poetry Contest. Curse of the Klondike is his first full-length novel.
