Just Released
Boots and Saddles: A Call to Glory released this week. Amazon has it back ordered, but they should catch up in early January. The Kindle version is also available.
Once in awhile history gives us something 'unexpected'. Unexpected history sounds like an oxymoron, but it happens when we discover something about a familiar character or event that is little known or overlooked in popular history. You don't come across unexpected history every day, but when I do it's usually a great premise for a book. Boots and Saddles: A Call to Glory is one of those stories. I hope you enjoy it. If you do, please give it a review on Amazon.
Merry Christmas,
Paul Colt

Boots and Saddles: A Call to Glory
by Paul Colt
Five Star Publishing
ISBN 13: 978-1-4328-2803-5

Boots and Saddles: A Call to Glory is the turning point that saved young George Patton’s military career.
Publisher’s Weekly says: “…Colt’s sweeping and historically vivid portrayal of the Punitive Expedition, American and Mexican relations, and German double-dealing really makes this novel an exciting success.”
Emmy and Spur Award winning writer/producer Kirk Ellis says:
“Paul Colt understands that the secret to good historical fiction is a firm grounding in the facts and a lively sense of character and period. In his capable hands, the story of young, ambitious George S. Patton and his early exploits in war and love makes for a rollicking adventure tale.”
Hope you enjoy the book. If you do, please consider giving it a review at Amazon. Thanks for your interest.

Marilyn Brown Novel Award
My new book, Boots and Saddles, A Call to Glory has just received the Marylin Brown award for unpublished novels.
Boots and Saddles tells the story of the last United States Cavalry campaign. It is also the turning point that saved George Patton's military career.
The Marilyn Brown Award is given annually by Utah Valley University to recognize excellence in unpublished novels.
I'm touched by the recognition. This is a great story deserves to be told. While George Patton is an icon of American military history, most people don't know his early career. History doesn't remember him as a cavalry officer and a saber master. Most people don't know that he nearly resigned his commission at mid career. When my readers finished the manuscript, they all said 'I had no idea.' With luck, maybe this award will get the book published. I'll keep you posted.

First I'd like to thank those of you who've read my books and especially those kind enough to give them a good review. That seems like a good place to start. This blogging business is new to me, but if you'll bear with me we'll try to make it interesting and informative.
The news for today is that the first two books in the J.R. Chance series, Case File: Union Pacific and Case File: Black Friday are now available for Kindle at Amazon.com. They can also be borrowed from the Kindle library. The third book in the series Case File: Desperado Trail will also come out on Kindle.
I'll give you an update on what is happening with Grasshoppers in Summer and two new titles we are hoping to publish next time.
