Three Corner Rustlers by K. Hamilton – book reading and signing at Book Passage Corte Madera
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Marin author K. Hamilton has released her first novel, a contemporary Western titled Three Corner Rustlers (amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com). Inspired by true events, Hamilton skillfully combines the elements of a Classic Western with the 21st century. A book reading and signing will take place on Saturday, April 9th from 7pm – 8:30pm at Book Passage Corte Madera.
Hamilton, whose real name is Kim Vogee but writes under the pen name K. Hamilton as homage to her mother, conceived the idea for her first novel in 2009 after reading articles from the Bend, Oregon newspaper about cattle rustling by horseback in the vast ION country where Idaho, Oregon, and Nevada come together. Around that time she also saw the documentary The Wild Horse Redemption, by John Zaritsky, about a tempestuous mustang paired with an inmate.
“I started assembling a cast of favorite characters and decided the story of the inmate, who only got a moment with “his” horse, was unacceptable and worked him into my story,” said Hamilton. “I was also a fan of a TV show called “Moonlight,” and in my imagination, decided to picture the leading actor as one of my main characters. All these different people from all walks of life started coming together and this incredible story started to take shape.”
Hamilton wrote the original story as a screenplay but, with the help of a Book Passage instructor, eventually realized it belonged as a novel. Changing the 300+ page script into novel form consumed the next seven years of her life.
Wanting to experience the ION country for herself, Hamilton befriended a photographer who was an avid outdoorsman and had vast knowledge of the area. He gladly shared his knowledge and photography with Hamilton which allowed her to write more accurately about that open country. After fine-tuning her work with an editor and finding a publisher, Hamilton was finally ready to release her self-published labor of love in October of 2015 through Dark Planet Publishing. She is currently working on a sequel to Three Corner Rustlers and will be out in 2017.
