All the time spent driving a tractor gave him plenty of opportunity to let his imagination run wild and not tear up too much equipment. The two passions he developed early in life were the love of playing guitar and reading books. He eventually moved to a mini-farm outside of Murfreesboro, Tennessee with his wife and replaced planting corn with trees and raising dogs. For a number of years he worked as an IT consultant and continued with being a part-time musician and songwriter. He dabbled in writing short stories with the idea in the back of his mind that someday he would write a novel. One Christmas after watching "A Christmas Carol", he was inspired to begin his journey as a novelist. 

Last Breath is the highly anticipated fifth book in the Gideon Johann Western series.  It joins #1 bestseller novels on Amazon.com in Western Classics, Last Stand, Last Chance, Last Hope, & Last Ride. Cattle are being rustled from ranches around Last Stand and seem to vanish into the night by the time they are discovered missing.  The town and area ranchers begin to question Sheriff Gideon Johann’s competency, especially after a ranch hand is killed guarding a herd and Gideon fails to prevent a bank robbery. Gideon is about to become a grandfather and Deputy Finnegan Ford is expecting his first child – two births with life altering consequences. Duane Boehm has written another western novel with enough humor, heartbreak, love, and outlaws to keep you turning the page. Last Breath can be read as a stand-alone novel, but will provide a richer reading experience if the Gideon Johann Western Series is read in order.
