Welcome to the author’s page for P. M. Walker

“Tell me a story, Grandaddy! Tell me one with a big bad wolf.”

“Again?”

“A different one.”

With that kind of urging and a deadline of bed time, I began telling and concocting stories regularly again once my grandchildren came into this world. This re-awakened the old love of making up stories for my children that had been moved to the background during my more “adult” career.

I turned some of those stories into privately printed picture books and later ideas into chapter books for them. These were only available to family. This pleasure between my grandchildren and me continues to inspire me to continue formalizing some of these stories and to offer to share them for other children to enjoy.  My sincere hope is to help foster in more children a love of seeking out books and tales to charge up their young imaginations.  

My life long love of literature, reading and writing has brought me much joy and benefit. It is something I wish to encourage in young minds at least in this small way by self-publishing. A wonderful unintended pleasure of this venture has been the family collaboration that has resulted.

My spouse Carol and I and our two children (now grown) settled in the high range prairie of Colorado over 25 years ago.  Following a career in management consulting, I retired to enjoy family and devote more time to writing these made up stories, which I discover during visits to the the Uncharted Range. 

No matter where their life adventures lead, may all our children always keep reading.  May they live fully and be able to leave wonderful tales of their own adventures in their wake. 

On this web page I will post information about the books as they are published, works in progress and related details.
