Dill

About the Book

Dill Buckalew was a good ol’ Texas boy who’d give anyone a helping hand, but he didn’t believe that there is a God. That belief and some bad luck pushed him to become gun handy. He responded to bad luck with wrong choices. The wrong choices kept building until he hired out as an assassin and killed a man who’d been a friend to him.

About the Author

Joe Neil Steward was born on the coldest day of 1942—his dad’s car radiator froze. He grew up on a farm outside of Anna, Illinois, and attended a one-room country school for all eight grades. He attended high school in Anna—riding a horse to the highway to catch the school bus. In 1962 he represented Southern Illinois University at the National Drama Festival at Laurence, Kansas, and won best actor. He was a theatre trained actor for twenty years and retired from acting after a disfiguring accident and drove a charter coach as a ski shuttle between the Town of Whitefish, Montana and the Big Mountain ski resort. He has recently moved to the Knoxville, TN area to take advantage of programs at the University of Tennessee.
