Cowboy Sol Redding is ready to raise hell when he rides into town after being bushwhacked while driving a herd of Texas longhorns from Amarillo to Sheol Springs.
Redding has lost his cattle, his friends, and his fortune -- and he wants swift justice. However, powerful enemies will do whatever it takes to shut him down... or stamp him out.
When the sheriff turns up dead, the town needs a scapegoat--and Redding fits the bill. Can he find the real killer before they string him up for a crime he didn’t commit?
I like a good story. And of all stories, I love westerns the most.
As a kid, I spent far too many afternoons re-watching Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns, picking up Shane for just one more read, or saddling up beside Ben Cartwright when Bonanza was on TV each afternoon.
I’m a former journalist and I love horses, dogs, and the occasional bourbon whiskey. I live with my wife, daughter and our ever-slumbering hound in a small 1800’s-era gold mining town – our house is right on top of the last working gold mine in the area. There may not be much gold left, but there’s history and stories wherever you look.
I hope you enjoy my westerns as much as I enjoyed writing them!
