When “Open Season” debuted in 2001, Chuck Box hadn’t a clue that his life was about to change.

Box was then owner/operator of an international tourism marketing company, Rocky Mountain International, which he and his wife ran for 24 years – 10 of which he balanced against his time writing novels. 

“It takes a while to really build up a lot of momentum in the publishing world,” Box told Cowboy State Daily. “And, you know, I wasn’t going to just quit my job and devote everything to that when it wasn’t making the kind of income my ‘real’ job was.”
