C.W. Smith’s goal since beginning his first novel has been to document in a dramatic fashion the cultural conflicts of the American Southwest as well as the universal, existential dilemmas that arise from being human regardless of place and time. Though some  of  his novels  are  set  in historical  periods of the 19^th and 20^th centuries, other work uses contemporary conflicts and situations. He is also interested  in writing for film and has  adapted  three of his works of fiction for screen.  He finds his students very stimulating.
