What made you start writing about the San Carlos Apache Reservation and Tribe?

Mark Reps For the last 30 years I have spend a great deal of time hiking in SE AZ. On one of my hikes while I was looking for an ancient Indian ruin my car got stuck. I got out to hike the last three miles when a truck that was better built for the soft dirt and narrow, rutted road came by. The driver happened to be a former Sheriff of Graham County. He was accompanied by his son, the local chiropractor and his grandson. We all began to swap tales and the former sheriff invited my wife and I over for steaks and beer. He began to clue me in on what it was like to be a rural AZ law man. I found it fascinating and after several years of letting the information fester in my mind I decided to write some stories based on the stories the former sheriff had shared with me. It was the tenor of his tale telling that struck me. He was a man who could handle danger, be tough as hell and yet be a calm loving grandfather. He very loosely became the concept for the rough development of Zeb Hanks, my main character.
