Western on Sale

With the large number of people that recently picked up one of the new Kindles or other ereaders, I decided to offer a deal to you. In order to give you a fun read to put on your new device, I am now offering my western, Unlikely Trio, for only 99 cents a copy. I plan on leaving this price for at least the next week or so, but if the response is good, I may leave that as the permanent price.

Think back to the days of the pulp fiction western. This book seeks to recreate that era. A quick fun read of only about 8,500 words.

Three men are close friends, despite their different backgrounds. One is a lawman, one is a gambler, and the third is a man that tinkers on both sides of the law when times call for it. Now toss in a down on her luck girl with her cap set for the gambler and sparks are bound the fly.

The lawman wants to gather up the team to go after five outlaws who shot up a gambling hall and killed a barmaid. Certain things cannot be allowed to stand, and the death of a woman is one of them. Although the lawman wants to bring them back for trial, the gambler has vengeance on his mind.

Range War Now Available

The first book in the Saugatuck western trilogy, Range War, is now available on Amazon for only $1.99. I hope you enjoy it, and thank you for your support.

Sam Stevenson had been Sheriff of Saugatuck for a number of years, and he had faced many challenges. None of them prepared him for what he would face when the railroad was coming to town. Two large ranchers both wanted to control the railroad land, and both planned to use it to destroy the other, even if that meant that Saugatuck became a casualty in the process.

While trying to keep a lid on the situation, Sam is forced to confront something from his past that he had hoped was left behind. The result of this confrontation risks the life Sam had built for himself while starting over in this town.

This is a fast paced western adventure that reminds us of the old time westerns by Max Brand and similar authors. At almost 34,000 words, this is a fun way to spend a weekend with your Kindle. The first book in a trilogy about the town of Saugatuck and its lawman, and I hope you will enjoy the others.
