[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] His work is noted for its realism, sense of place, characterization, prose style, and blending of popular and literary styles [7] [8] [9] [10]

Contents

Nesbitt was a professor of English and Spanish at Eastern Wyoming College, having earned degrees from the University of California, Los Angeles, and the University of California, Davis. [11] [12] He is now Professor Emeritus. [13] His recognitions include a Wyoming Arts Council Literary Fellowship for fiction in 1988 and for nonfiction in 2008; the Western Writers of America Spur Award for original paperback novel in 2009 and 2010, short story in 2010, and poem in 2019; the Western Fictioneers Peacemaker Award for Best Western Novel in 2021 and Best Short Fiction in 2020, and the Orland Alumni Association distinguished alumni award in 2019 for his achievements in writing.

Early life

Nesbitt was born in Lompoc, California, in Santa Barbara County.[ citation needed ] His father was a farmer and rancher, and his mother was an aspiring writer and artist. [17] [18] When he was about a year old, his father and his grandfather sold out their interests in California and bought a ranch in eastern Oregon. [4] [17] [19] Citing economic troubles, the family moved back to California, where Nesbitt's parents divorced, and his father ended up with custody of Nesbitt and his three brothers. In 1956, shortly before Nesbitt's eighth birthday, he learned that his mother had died. [18] [20] When Nesbitt and his brothers were old enough to work in the fields, they and their father followed the seasonal agricultural work and lived in and near several small towns across California. [1] [18] [21] [19]

Education

Nesbitt attended Orland High School in Orland, California, where he was a top student in mathematics and graduated with honors in foreign languages. [22] He attended Chico State College, majoring in mathematics, but changed to English, out of a desire to become a published author. [11] After three semesters at Chico State, he transferred to the University of California, Los Angeles, where he studied French and Spanish, and graduated in English in 1971. Nesbitt earned a M.A. (1974) and a PhD (1980) in English from the University of California, Davis [ citation needed ], where he wrote his dissertation on the western novel. [17] [23] [18] [24]

Notably in 1994, Nesbitt earned a degree in Spanish Philology from the Instituto de Filología Hispánica in Saltillo, Coahuila. [23] [25]

Career

Nesbitt worked as a teaching assistant and, later, a lecturer at the University of California, Davis, from 1972 to 1981. During this time, he also worked as a lecturer at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and as an adjunct professor of English at California State University, Sacramento, Solano Community College, and Yuba College. [23] Nesbitt joined the faculty at Eastern Wyoming College in 1981, [18] and taught several courses in English and Spanish within the division of Arts, Humanities, and Social and Behavioral Sciences. [9] [5] He took full retirement in 2021 and is now Professor Emeritus. [13]

Professionally, Nesbitt has participated in the leadership of national and regional organizations for writing, literature, and western Americana. Most notably, Nesbitt served as president of Wyoming Writers, Inc., (2010–2011), [26] president of WyoPoets (1996–1997), [27] and as board member for Western Writers of America (2008–2010).[ citation needed ]

Writing

In 1978, Nesbitt first piece, a short-story called "West of Dancing Rock," was published in the commercial magazine Far West. [9] [17] Between 1978 and 1994, several of Nesbitt's short fiction, academic articles, nonfiction, and poetry were published in a variety of academic journals, literary magazines, and commercial magazines. [2] [11] [4] [23] [28] [29]

Nesbitt's first book, One-Eyed Cowboy Wild, was published as a hardcover western with Walker and Company in New York City in 1994. [9] [17] [30] [31] [32] After three novels with Walker and Company, he moved into paperback original western novels for several years, and later returned to hardcover publishing with Five Star. [33] [34] Since the publication of his first novel, he has published several short story collections, contemporary novels, nonfiction works, poems, and song lyrics. [9] [35] [28] [36] [37] Nesbitt's work has been commended for its realism, descriptive settings, development of characters, and unique blend of genres, such as his works in frontier fiction and niche noir fiction. [38] [10]

Personal life

Nesbitt is married to Rocío Nesbitt, [18] a Mexican native, and lives and teaches at Eastern Wyoming College in Torrington, Wyoming. [2] [4]

Nesbitt has expressed that his career has given him the stability he yearned for in his youth, and has allowed him to pursue the western way of life by living in the country, having horses, hunting, camping, and getting to know the land and its wildlife. [18] [10] [29] [39] He also noted that the migrant way of life of his youth in California had a great effect on his career aspirations and on his writing. [1] [38] [4] [21]

Awards

In 1988, he was awarded an Independent Research Fellowship from the Wyoming Council for the Humanities. In 1994, he was recognized with the Excellence Award in Teaching by the National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development (NISOD).[ citation needed ] Nesbitt has been honored locally through Wyoming Writers, Inc., with the Arizola Magnenat Award for Dedicated Encouragement of Other Writers in 1999, and the Emmie Mygatt Award for Dedicated Service to the Organization in 2000. [11] In 2016, he was Faculty Member of the Year for Eastern Wyoming College, and was recognized by the Orland High School Alumni Association as Co-Alumnus of the Year for 2018. [23] [16]
