Book excerpt: Nightfalls in Texas is a moving saga of life and love, of loss and redemption, of trails taken, and trails not taken. It is also a lyrical, touching, humorous, and sometimes poetic portrayal of growing up on the vast West Texas plains. Nightfalls in Texas is a story complete with all of the trials, the tribulations, and the cruel twists of fate that we all face in our shared experiences. Mr. Posey has captured the very essence of what life in a small west Texas Hamlet is like. “The Great Gatsby” meets “Giant” meets “The Last Picture Show.” He has infused his book with colorful and uniquely textured characters. The “starry-eyed-bubbas”, “small-town beauties”, “craggy land barons”, “gridiron warriors”, “town crazies”, “sage old soreheads”, “genteel debutantes”, “marauding desperadoes”, and other various and sundry characters. Nightfalls in Texas is also a story of shattered dreams and a boy’s journey into the promise land, and of another man’s lifelong search for a second chance that may never come. Finally, you are left with the remnants of a bittersweet story and a haunting ballad that will leave a searing resonance on your heart, and the sound of a distant clap of thunder on your soul.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She heard a hundred undecipherable whispers floating through the atmosphere, surrounding her in an invisible wall, but amongst the murmurs she perceived one distinct voice calling out above the rest. Though her instincts told her to release the unnatural object, she clasped it and stared up at the spectacular spiral that towered above her. The one voice graduated closer to her, growing louder and louder. Slowly, the words became distinguishable, and her ears were pricked to catch them. Lauria thinks that her life might never hold anything more for her than the occasional festival or the conflicts with her family. But one night when she sneaks out in hopes of stealing a few moments alone, a strange raindrop changes her world forever. It bursts forth into a vortex of light and sound and releases a creature of unnatural beauty and power who tells her there is a task she must complete. Far across the plains of her homeland, Austurea, a dying soldier named Jestun lies in an empty battlefield. As Lauria struggles to discern the task laid before her and make sense of the strife within her family and her own heart, Jestun searches for the answers surrounding his family's mysterious past. Meanwhile a Dark power hovers over them and their fates, their only shield the Light that is bringing their paths closer together. Whispers of Nightfall is the first book of a saga that rages across land and dimensions, questions issues of identity and destiny, and reveals the battle between Light and Darkness.

But Liz wants to continue her legal practice in town, not spend her time working the land. She needs a man to do the heavy lifting! Travis Anderson is also a big-city lawyer, claiming to be back in Laramie County with a desire to reconnect with his ranching roots. Only Liz isn't buying it. When it turns out her old flame is being sued for malpractice, Liz agrees to assist him in exchange for help around Four Winds. Now all she has to do is ignore the incredible chemistry she's always shared with the sexy cowboy. The trouble is, if Liz helps Travis win his lawsuit, he'll leave the ranch-just as she's learning the benefits of having him around. What's a poor cowgirl to do?"--P. 4 of cover.

Book excerpt: “For 60 years, [it] has been considered the most monumental single source on the old-time Texas trail drives north to Kansas and beyond.” —The Dallas Morning News These are the chronicles of the trail drivers of Texas—those rugged men and, sometimes, women—who drove cattle and horses up the trails from Texas to northern markets in the late 1800s. Gleaned from members of the Old Time Trail Drivers’ Association, these hundreds of real-life stories—some humorous, some chilling, some rambling, all interesting—form an invaluable cornerstone to the literature, history, and folklore of Texas and the West. First published in the 1920s and reissued by the University of Texas Press in 1985, this classic work is now available in an ebook edition that contains the full text, historical illustrations, and name index of the hardcover edition. “The essential starting point for any study of Texas trail driving days. Walter Prescott Webb called it ‘Absolutely the best source there is on the cattle trail . . .’” —Basic Texas Books “A book of recollections written by the trail drivers themselves. It has been declared that this volume will prove to be the storehouse of historians and novelists for generations.” —J. Marvin Hunter’s Frontier Times Magazine “A collection of narrative sketches of early cowboys and their experiences in driving herds of cattle through the unfenced Texas prairies to northern markets. They are true narratives told by the cowpunchers who experienced the long rides.” —Texas Proud
