<p>Long-time Nederland, Colorado, resident Kay Turnbaugh owned the local newspaper for 27 years. During that time she wrote several articles about Goldie Cameron, never guessing that when she sold the paper she would devote four years of her life to researching the fascinating life of one of our country’s first professional female athletes who worked as a cowgirl, bronco buster, and local entrepreneur. <em>The Last of the Wild West Cowgirls: A True Story</em> was a finalist for a Willa Literary Award in Creative Non-Fiction for 2010. The author also has written books about local history, a kids’ book about the mountain pine beetle, and co-authored several hiking guidebooks. Find her at www.kayturnbaugh.com.</p>
