New Release -- "Dead Man's Boot"
My 13th novel and 23rd book, "Dead Man's Boot," has been released in hardcover by Five Star. This is my first novel since winning the 2015 Spur Award for Western Traditional Novel for "The Big Drift."
"Dead Man's Boot," set in 1869, concerns characters haunted by past events who set out from the Pecos River in search of redemption and legendary gold in the Guadalupe Mountains. Standing in their way are hostile Comanches and Apaches, but the greatest threat comes from their own inner demons.
I based this novel on actual events along the Pecos, as well as on the story of the Lost Sublett Mine. Early reaction from readers has been positive: "a fast read" . . . "outstanding" . . . "awesome" . . . "Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down."
"Dead Man's Boot" is available in both hardcover and ebook from online sellers.
