| Introduction | English-born Tony Walker has written numerous articles, which have been printed in shooting and collector magazines around the world. He has written two action thrillers, 'Snides', and 'Pilgrim's Banner', as well as his non-fiction book 'How to Win a Gunfight'. In his varied career, he has, among other things, driven a bus, sold insurance, worked as an archivist looking after medieval documents, owned a gun store, and was a market trader in London, where he sold antiques (some of which were genuine), and military memorabilia (some of which were "Snides"). He was also heavily involved in the shooting sports, and has been a firearms instructor for more than thirty years. He now lives in Arizona, where he runs a firearms school, SAS Training, with his wife Vannessa, who is also an experienced instructor. He is currently working on the third John and Sally Pilgrim novel, which will be titled Pilgrim’s Women.
