A native of Big Sky country, Wayne Edwards spent his 30-plus year banking career in his hometown of Denton, a rural small-town located in the heart of Montana’s expansive wheat and cattle country. Edwards began writing in his retirement, and published two books in 2021: PACER COULEE CHRONICLES, a popular and entertaining adult fiction novel about life and sport in rural Montana; and an endearing children’s book, BUSTER THE BRIDGER MOUNTAIN BEAR. An updated version of each book was republished in 2024. Switching gears to yet another genre, Edwards published the heartwarming young adult novel, A STONE’S THROW, IN 2024.
