You might say I'm back on the trail again!![]()

I’m excited to announce that my first three novels are now available in e-book versions on Amazon. The publisher who did such a wonderful job producing the hardback versions of Trail Angel, Angel Falls, and Avenging Angel decided a few years back to stop making e-books.![]()

While I still love to hold a hardback in my hands — and see it on a shelf! — I also enjoy the convenience of e-books. Best of all from an author’s perspective, they can be sold at a price that encourages more readers to give a new author a chance.![]()

Most of the people reading this note probably already own one or all of my books, and I thank you for that! Now, though, I hope you’ll recommend my books to the friends and family you haven’t trusted enough to lend your signed copy to. I’m offering Trail Angel at the introductory price of $3.99. The price for the others starts at just $4.99. Print-on-demand paperbacks and hardcovers are also available for those who prefer to hold their books — or haven’t seen their loaned-out copies returned.![]()

This isn’t about the money, obviously. It’s about building awareness at a time when it’s never been harder for new authors to get noticed — even when their books are a fun read that earn good notices from the likes of Kirkus, Booklist, and the Historical Novel Society, among others.![]()

I hope you’ll help me spread the word about these books you’ve enjoyed, so that more people can share in the adventure. I’ll have a new one for you, coming in July. Yosemite Lies is a modern thriller — no history this time — but filled with characters you’ll love, or love to hate, and twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the end. More on that soon.![]()

Looking for a reason that 2022 is sure to be better than the past two years? Coming in April from Five Star/Cengage: "Avenging Angel," my third historical Western. It’s the most dangerous adventure yet for sharpshooter Josey Angel and the redoubtable Annabelle Rutledge. Before they can bring peace to the Bozeman Trail, they must figure out who’s behind a rash of grisly raids, the victims beheaded, and not always after death. They will also confront a gunfighter with a wartime grudge against Josey and a scientist whose unorthodox views of human origins are as unsettling as his hulking henchman and army of mercenaries. When all forces converge in a bloody, fiery climax, Josey and Annabelle will need more than their fast-firing rifles to solve the mystery and escape with their lives.
