Craig Lancaster has collected a series of awards for his work ranging from the Montana Honor Book to the Independent Publishers Book Award and multiple appearances at the High Plains Book Awards.
"It's all too easy to turn people into caricatures, but the truth is, we humans are pretty damned fascinating," Lancaster says. "For me, fiction is a way at getting at truth. I use it to examine the world around me, the things that disturb me, the questions I have about life—whether my own or someone else's. My hope is that someone reading my work will have their own emotional experience and bring their own thoughts to what they read on the page."
