Northwest Arkansas Writers

Bud Hanks

I started writing law enforcement short stories and poetry in 1971. Most of the poems and stories were about life and people I met and knew on a daily basis. Retired from law enforcement after thirty years, in 1994. Two books of poetry were self published and entered in contests. Cloverleaf published winners in 1974. I'm presently entering writing contests around the country and with OWL. Presently working on a western faction about an outlaw in the family. I joined Northwest Ark. Writers two years ago.
