Now Available: The Fightin' Preacher (A Brothers of the Mountain Adventure, Story #12)

 


From the back cover:

At the annual rendezvous, Henry McCarty and his bride-to-be, Cora, come face-to-face with old enemies who haven’t forgotten a past beating. When the trouble turns deadly and Cora is taken, Henry sets out to bring her home—no matter the cost.
But he won’t have to face the danger alone. Zeb Granger, a rough-and-tumble preacher known as the
Fightin’ Preacher, rides beside him. With ruthless men closing in and bullets flying, the two must fight their way through a wilderness where justice comes hard and survival is never guaranteed.
In the untamed West, some men preach salvation. Others deliver it the hard way.

A Gentle Reminder

 Slightly brisk fall morning in my neck of the woods, but I'm not complaining. Today, blue skies and sunshine in the forecast and for the rest of the week as well. 

Yesterday was a great day. My youngest son and I drove to the park to play a little basketball and then walked and slowly jogged around the track that's adjacent to the ball court. He just turned eleven and is improving each time we go and play basketball. Next year he's wanting to run cross country for his school, and I've no doubt he's got what it takes to be an asset to the team. He's never participated in organized sports, but I know he'll do just fine.

Later in the afternoon my grown daughter came over with two of the grandkids. They are a wild pair, brother and sister, running around, lured by childhood curiosity, but I wouldn't have them any other way. They are always on the go, as they should be, and I enjoyed sitting on the back deck watching them play, raising a ruckus and having fun doing it.

I suppose this post is more for me than you, dear reader. Just a gentle reminder of life's little blessings.

Cartel Dogs is now Live

 


I'm happy to announce that CARTEL DOGS is now available on Amazon. It's also available in the Kindle Unlimited program for those with subscriptions.
As I've mentioned, this is the fifth installment in the SHERIFF RANDALL KING series and a standalone story. These can be read in any order. I hope you check it out.

On a side note, all of my eBook short story collections and novels have been marked down to $2.50 (Payhip) for the month of October. If you like a little grit in your stories, I'd recommend FORSAKEN LAND: SELECTED STORIES. If you enjoy western frontier adventures, I'd recommend BROTHERS OF THE MOUNTAIN: HEART OF THE FRONTIER.

Anyway, I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Cartel Dogs Now Available to Pre-Order

 



I'm happy to announce that CARTEL DOGS, the fifth installment in the SHERIFF RANDALL KING series, is now available to pre-order. The release date will be October 1st. 
For those who don't know, these are standalone stories that can be read in any order. Check out the link below.

From the back cover: 

Two women are dead, and both have a connection to Willie Dean Clark—a local mechanic with a reputation for trouble.

But Sheriff Randall King isn’t convinced Willie is a killer.

The investigation leads Randall to a small-town auto repair shop where something far more dangerous than car repairs is taking place. Drugs are moving through the county, and someone is willing to kill to keep the operation hidden.

The deeper Randall digs, the more dangerous the case becomes. And catching a killer may only uncover something much bigger.

Sheriff Randall King is back in another gritty Southern Indiana crime story where justice is personal, the law is rarely clean, and the bad guys don’t always get caught.


"I've really enjoyed this short story series with Sheriff Randall and the author has gotten better each novella. These can be read as standalone stories, but I like the whole storyline so I recommend reading them all." - Dezi, Amazon Review

Paperbacks Available on IngramSpark

I’m happy to announce that my novels and short story collections are now available on IngramSpark. These are paperbacks only with each having a direct purchase link. Also, these books are listed with an average of 40 percent off, or more. Not too bad.

It’s been a hectic process getting my books uploaded over there. In the long run I believe the hard work will have been worth it. Getting my novels and collections spread far and wide is the goal. We’ll see what happens. For now, I just want to get back to writing. I’ve been scratching away on a new story and as always, it feels good to put down new words again.

If you’re interested in checking out a paperback, tap on a cover in the sidebar. You’ll find all the purchase links on the book page. And if your go-to retailer isn't listed, just go to their site and see if the book is available. If not, ask them to order it. Should be no problem.
