Book excerpt: Considine and Pete Runyon had once been friends, back in the days when both were cowhands. But when Runyon married the woman Considine loved, the two parted ways. Runyon settled down and became a sheriff. Considine took up robbing banks. Now Considine is planning a raid on the bank at Obaro, a plan that will pit him against Runyon . . . and lead to riches or suicide. The one thing he never counted on was meeting a strong, beautiful woman and her stubborn father, hell-bent on traveling alone through Apache territory to a new life. Suddenly Considine must choose between revenge and redemption—and either choice could be the last one he makes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Short stories of adventure, life, and insight into growing up when time was spent in nature and living the true spirit of the west. The stories are true, most are from my life in southern and the far north of Idaho. My life was lived and written about from the perspective of someone who used crutches or a wheelchair to amble about. People, animals, and nature-filled my cup to the brim. One can ask for no more. My family made me who I am by not treating me any differently than my siblings. I was expected to do what was needed for the welfare of all. Friends have completed the journey. I am grateful.

It still comes as a shock when his deputy is almost killed by the body of a woman falling from the highway overpass onto his car. A woman who had been fleeing for her life… Then longtime resident Velma Thompson is found dead on her porch—her husband missing. To search for the man, Virgil saddles up and heads to the High Lonesome, the rugged mountains above their ranch. And on a wind-swept mesa, he’ll find the first clues that point to a killer whose body count has only just begun…

Book excerpt: Joe doesn’t live on top of a mountain because he loves people. A late summer snowstorm is the perfect chance to send his customers down to lower altitude and enjoy a few days of solo strolls and fireside naps. Tanner’s not staying at a high-altitude hut to admire the scenery. He’s got a date to keep with the sort of person you don’t want to disappoint, a date that’ll result in him earning some much-needed cash in exchange for what’s left of his self-respect. But that’s OK. He gave up on self-respect when he picked up the needle anyway. Pyotr didn’t drop into a blizzard to rescue Tanner or to drag Joe back down to the real world. His mission is a lot colder than that. People are only pawns, and spies are only heroes to those who don’t know them. Hermit, addict, spy. Three men, one snowstorm, zero reason to trust. And someone’s coming … Content warning: this book contains on-page heroin use and detox. A brief argument follows the reveal of a character’s HIV status.

Book excerpt: The High Lonesome Sound, like its predecessor, Crow on the Wire, is poetry qua journal. While this book continues the project begun with Crow on the Wire, the collections can be read independently. As with Crow on the Wire, The High Lonesome Sound consists of poems in the octet & quatrain forms-themselves very loosely based on the classical Chinese lüshi & jueju. Again like Crow on the Wire, this collection is structured around monthly sequences describing the phases of the moon. The High Lonesome Sound begins with separation & ends with connection. In between we follow the narrator's exploration of the streets & scenes in Portland, with the landscapes he encounters answering an internal call & an internal reality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cody Winters, a former lawman and most recently a trapper in the rugged northern wilderness of Arizona, was headed for Camp Wooda town where he hoped to settle down and begin a new life for himself. He would soon learn that strangers were not always welcomed in Camp Wood. Those that stayed too long typically ended up at the undertakers. From the moment he rode into town, he fell under the critical sharp-eyed gaze of the always ruthless and often corrupt town marshal. As Cody rode up the street, he fell under the curious blue-eyed gaze of another set of eyes as well. They belonged to Miss Holly Granger, the beautiful daughter of a prosperous cattle rancher. The ranchers daughter and the former lawman would soon meet and, from that moment on, see their lives swept away toward an unforeseen adventure, and with it hidden danger at every turn. This riveting story of the Old West is packed with adventure, danger, old-fashion frontier justice, and steamy romance. the Author

Book excerpt: When does a boy become a man? When does he cross that invisible line where marbles and tops and playlike don’t matter anymore? Is it when he begins to imagine what it would be like to wake up next to the girl that lives inside his soul? Is it when he buries his best friend wearin’ a coat still stained with that friend’s blood? Is it when he knows in his heart of hearts he could kill a man and not even think twice about it? These are the questions that rage in young Crawford Cashion’s mind as he rides to his destiny in the turbulent years of the Range Wars in southwest Texas. Though the country has turned a page with a new century, the Old West still lingers on, and so does the prairie. People may change. Attitudes and philosophies come and go, but the prairie—the HIGH LONESOME—will always stay the same—unforgiving of weakness, immutable and severe.
