Staires, Michael

Based out of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Michael Staires is happily married with seven children and one grandchild. A pioneer at heart and a born storyteller, it's not surprising that while serving as camp director at Shepherd's Fold Ranch for many years, one of his most popular tales was a western yarn about a young boy who dreams of becoming a kind and heroic cowboy like his uncle. Expertly melding spiritual lessons with thrilling adventures, "A Long Ride Home" is the first book in the Billy Christian series.
