Author Description

"Dad, what's a cowpoke?". Driving down to Florida on a family vacation, writer/illustrator Jon Ward's children were bored. Riding past vast pastures full of endless dairy farms and cattle, he began to weave a fanciful tale of "cows" and their relationships with their cowboy pals. After germinating in his mind for over ten years, Fuller Bull and MooDonna recently woke Jon up in the middle of the night, demanding that their story be told. By now, though, his kids had both grown up, but Jon was pleased to discover that they still enjoyed listening to their father spinning more of his ridiculous yarns. The Clash of the Cowasorouses is the first of a series of adventures planned for the ancient, mighty Cowasorouses. Coming on the heels of his first book, Howard Wise and the Monster Mop, Jon is happy to note that after many years in the adult business world, his brain is still just as warped as it was when he began...as a thirteen year old self-taught kid, sitting at a drawing board.
