It was a sad day for Western writers everywhere when FiveStar Publishing, where several of my novels had found a home in hardcovereditions, closed down. However, another publisher in the same conglomerate,Thorndike Press, which had released those same novels in large print editions,invited a few of Five Star’s Western authors to submit manuscripts forpublication as large-print originals.

There are two new novels of mine out in large print as ofnow, and a third will be along soon. It’s a trilogy, a series, with the overalltitle borrowed from this quotation by Ernest Hemingway: “There is no huntinglike the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough andliked it, never care for anything else thereafter.” The line seemed appropriatefor a bounty hunter, and so the series.

The star of the trilogy is Matt Crowder, formerly adeputy United States Marshal and now an independent hunter of men. Hanging Man: The Hunting of Man Book 1 is now available. Crowder encountersa man hanging from a tree with no identification and few clues concerning hisidentity or his fate. He spends the next 339 pages figuring it out,encountering all kinds of complications and adventures along the way.  

Also available is Running Man: The Hunting of Man Book 2, in which Crowder pursues an escapedconvict whose goal is to put as much distance between his escape and pursuit ashe can, as fast as he can. Again, our bounty hunter is relentless, and duringthe chase uncovers government corruption.

HidingMan: The Hunting of Man Book 3will be along soon. All are (or will be) available on Amazon and the usualonline retailers. Since these are large-print editions they are a bit pricey,but may well be available on the shelves at your local library. So, check out“The Hunting of Man” series—both figuratively and literally.
