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 upon his retirement, and published both a children's book, BUSTER THE BRIDGER MOUNTAIN BEAR, and a novel, PACER COULEE CHRONICLES in 2021. Revised editions of both works were republished in 2024. Also in 2024, and writing in yet another genre, Edwards published the highly popular A STONE'S THROW, a novel directed to the Young Adult audience but received with equal favor and appreciation by Young-At-Heart older adults.

Wayne and his wife of 50 years, Lorinda, split their time between their homes in Bozeman, Montana and Cave Creek, Arizona.
