Confessions of a Saddle Tramp is a tapestry of poetry, prose, and trail-worn reflections from author Shannon Oliver King’s solitary passage across the vast, sun-struck Southwest.
Her words propel the reader to a different place, a peaceful solace found only in desert solitude and ignited from within.


Escape into the wind from the back of a horse. Into the sun and the rain, the mountains and high desert. The glistening authenticity of nature.
Welcome to Confessions of a Saddle Tramp.

Upcoming Book
A lost horse leads one woman deep into the desert, and deeper into herself after years of silence. In solitude, sand, and sky, she rebuilds a life from scratch, riding the borderlands to reclaim her voice, instinct,
and a place to finally call home.
