Two new books out!

It's been a busy few months. First, DSP Publications released my western novel "He Rode" on December 8th, 2020. It can be found on most bookseller websites - Amazon, of course. It's a different kind of western, with a lot more going on than you usually find. Action-packed with humor and some real human condition perspectives - plus a surprise, shocking ending. The blurb reads:

A brand new rip-roaring Western adventure from Glenn A. Bruce!

Lawrence Jefferson Taylor, a Wild West “fixer” known in west Colorado and northern New Mexico only as Honcho, has a past he is sure will catch up to him one day. In the meantime, to atone for his “sins,” Honcho helps those in need, but only when the stakes are highest—clearing out a saloon full of immoral gunslingers, transporting an Indian-murdering giant known as “The Monster,” or rescuing the lovely Ingrid from cattle rustlers who have enslaved her. When Ingrid and Honcho make a life together, his past does return to cause trouble. But in the end, it may be Ingrid’s dark past that will tax Honcho beyond his abilities to save himself.

Set in the Colorado and New Mexico high country of 1865-1880, He Rode is a wild, edge-of-your-saddle ride with an honest loner seeking to rid the territory of its worst bad men. Lawrence Jefferson Taylor’s exploits define danger, if occasionally with comical results, as he seeks to right wrongs, help the people who need it most, and make outlaws regret ever hearing the name “Honcho.”



Next up, World Castle Publishing officially releases my thriller "Last Blast" on February 15th, 2021 (eBook). Paperback is available as of January 15, 2021. Per the blurb:

In this somewhat dark, often comic look at how the federal government would function and Americans would react to a total ban on ownership/possession of any and all guns, author Glenn A. Bruce presents a “what if” of extreme behaviors—from relief to joy to panic to violence. Some gun owners are happy to turn over their weapons if it means a safer gun-free America; others will fight to the bitter end to maintain their “right to bear arms”—often with deadly results. Taking on the entirety of the United States government can be hazardous to one’s health!

Underlying the methodical sweeping up of every gun in America there emerges a shadowy plot to do… something. We are never sure exactly what that is until the tense and exciting climax when secretive dark forces converge on Washington to “finish what we started.” Is it a government-driven “false flag”? Is it an attempted coup? Who are the real players, and what is their intent? What is going on in the hidden basement of an abandoned Federal building in D.C., and what does a loner “idealist” from a compound in Idaho have to do with it? What about the well-meaning new President and his snarky female VP? Are they aware of what is happening? At all?

Everything, and everyone, is related in some way, whether they realize it or not. They will come together in the end to put a crushing halt to it all. Guns will be gathered, and lives will be lost. The Constitution will be tested, and truth will be moot. Will America survive? Only our hero, the mysterious ex-Marine David Billows knows—and he is not saying. He is clearly on a mission—and he will succeed. But at what cost?
