Book excerpt: What a contrast between soldiers in field and soldiers in garrison! Natty and trim—as straight as a sapling, with few words and no gestures—quite unlike those of two days, or rather nights, ago, when the cold froze them out of their blankets, and they sat around the camp-fires pounding tin cans and singing the Indian medicine song with a good Irish accent. Very funny that affair—the mixture of Cheyenne and Donnybrook is a strange noise. The last stage from Custer to the railroad is thirty-five miles and a half, which we did with two relays, the latter half of it in the night. There was no escort—only two orderlies and the general—and I pattered along through the gloom. The clouds hung over the earth in a dense blanket, and the road was as dim as a Florentine fresco; but night nor cold nor heat can bring General Miles to a walk, and the wild charge in the dark was, as an experience, a complete thing. You cannot see; you whirl through a cañon cut in the mud; you plough through the sage-brush and over the rocks clatter and bang. The general is certainly a grim old fellow—one of the kind that make sparks fly when he strikes an obstacle. I could well believe the old Fifth Infantryman who said "he's put many a corn on a dough-boy's foot," and it's a red-letter day for anyone else that keeps at his horse's heels. You may ride into a hole, over a precipice, to perdition, if it's your luck on this night, but is not the general in front? You follow the general—that's the grand idea—that is the military idea. If the United States army was strung out in line with its general ahead, and if he should ride out into the broad Atlantic and swim to sea, the whole United States army would follow along, for that's the idea, you know.

Book excerpt: An Old West adventure set in the rugged Palo Duro Canyon of Texas, The Red River Ring is the story of Pommel McMurphy, a successful pioneer rancher, Confederate soldier, and trail boss. McMurphy returns to the Palo Duro after being summoned by his former wife and mother of his three sons to help face a determined assault by the Red River Ring, a band of notorious rustlers and land grabbers. McMurphy has a dark past, however, that plagues him. Twenty years before, he abandoned his wife and sons without a word. He must return to grown sons who have no idea that he still lives and confront the woman he left behind. He must also battle Black Tom Bent, the leader of the Ring and his long-time foe, for the land, the woman, and the respect of his sons. Dark secrets and hidden guilt torment him as he struggles to save his family and come to terms with what he has done. A bold action-packed drama unfolds as McMurphy uses old-time vigilantism and the code of the vendetta to overcome a dangerous foe in a time when the law of the gun is being quickly overshadowed by the rule of law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Stockton Saga continues. It is 1879 and lands west of the Mississippi are still the Wild West and rife with lawlessness. Colorado, within the infancy of statehood, is alive with gold discoveries, open range for cattle, and new settlers. Wealthy, powerful men are looking to take over and control the state their own way. Gangs of outlaws harass settlers, stagecoaches are being robbed, and range disputes need settled. Standing against these unsavory factions are a federal judge and his small hand-picked group of U.S. Marshals bent on delivering swift and decisive justice to the spoilers. Early on a cold January morning, Federal Judge Joshua B. Wilkerson is charged with conspiracy and arrested in his home by Special Agents from Washington D.C. He is paraded in handcuffs to his own Denver Jail. In desperation, the judge’s wife Marie, turns to the one person she knows can help her husband, U.S. Marshal Cole Stockton. In mid-spring, Clay Stockton, U.S. Marshal for the Dakota Territory in Bismarck is ambushed at night from a dark alley. Although severely wounded, he kills the two men who laid in wait for him. Clay’s deputy, Sandy Merrick sends for Cole Stockton. Cole enlists the assistance of their mother, Johanna Stockton, and his lady friend, Laura Sumner. The trio travel to Bismarck post haste. Cole unravels the whys and wherefores of the vicious attack on his brother. The perpetrators are about to experience Cole Stockton’s brand of law and justice. A novel of the Old West packed with the drama and suspense of interpersonal relationships, outlaws handled with determination, and six-gun justice as well as personal hardship, humor, and adventure.

Book excerpt: It was just a godforsaken mountainside, but no place on earth was richer in silver. For a bustling, enterprising America, this was the great bonanza. The dreamers, the restless, the builders, the vultures—they were lured by the glittering promise of instant riches and survived the brutal hardships of a mining camp to raise a legendary boom town. But some sought more than wealth. Val Trevallion, a loner haunted by a violent past. Grita Redaway, a radiantly beautiful actress driven by an unfulfilled need. Two fiercely independent spirits, together they rose above the challenges of the Comstock to stake a bold claim on the future.
