Named Best New Western Author by True West Magazine.
It takes more than a badge to keep the peace in a lawless hellhole like Ring Bit, Texas. It takes guts, grit, gunslinging—and one hell of a woman . . .
MEET TENNESSEE SMITH:
SHE SHOOTS FROM THE HIP.
There aren’t many options for an eighteen-year-old girl in the Old West. Especially an orphan like Tennessee Smith. She can either sell her body in a seedy saloon or take her chances as a mail-order bride. Tennie chooses the latter. Joining a wagonload of women across Indian territory, she arrives in the God-forsaken town of Ring Bit, Texas. Her husband-to-be is surprisingly decent. But after tying the knot in a quickie ceremony, he pops even more surprises on her. First, he introduces Tennie to his three young sons. Then he drops dead on their wedding night . . .
Some women would hightail it out of there. Not Tennie. She’ll do whatever it takes to save the ranch and raise those boys. Rusty is thirteen, Lucas is ten, and Badger is six. They need a mother. Tennie needs a job. And the town needs a marshal. Sure, the local gamblers, outlaws, and thieves have no use for the law. Then again, they never met a lawman, or woman, like Tennessee Smith . . .

O autorovi
Easy Jackson (a.k.a. V. J. Rose) has written articles for Round-Up Magazine, The Tombstone Times, and many others. Her short story "Testimony" from the Broken Promises western anthology was nominated for a Spur Award from the Western Writers of America. She grew up with an abundance of quirky and colorful characters, the kind that can only be found in small-town Texas. A Season in Hell is her third novel. She cannot promise it will be her last.
