“If your mind and spirit are seduced by images of windswept ridge tops, flutters of aspen leaves caressed by a canyon breeze and the crimson tendrils of dying sun…if your fingers feel the silken pulse of a lover and your lips taste the deep kisses of building passion…if nostrils flare with the conjured scents of gunpowder and perfume, sage brush and pine, and your ears delight in the murmur of river current…if your heart pounds at the clash of good and evil and with each twist and turn of interwoven lives you feel a primal throb, then I have accomplished my mission.”

THE PASSIONS OF THE AMERICAN SPIRIT WOVEN WITH THE PRIDE OF INDEPENDENCE DAY!Threads West, Book One, July 2013 Reprint releasing TOMORROW (120 more pages and eight gripping new chapters) AND Maps of Fate, Book Two -- #1 bestsellers, winners of 13 national awards, TOMORROW, JULY 4TH ONLY – AMAZON KINDLE DAILY DEALS! $1.99 per ebook. Ipad/Nook readers go to www.threadswestseries.com. Kindle readers go to http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html...
This sweeping multi-era series is compared by reviewers and authors to Lonesome Dove, Centennial, L’Amour (“with steam”) and called by some “the Gone With The Wind of the West.” The tale bursts with the action, romance and promise of historical America and the West.
The epic saga of Threads West begins in 1854 with the first of five, richly textured, complex generations of unforgettable, multicultural characters. The separate lives of these driven men and independent women from Europe and America are drawn to a common destiny that beckons seductively from the wild and remote flanks of the American West. Swept into the dangerous currents of the far-distant frontier by the mysterious rivers of fate, the power of the land and the American spirit, their journeys are turbulent quests intertwined with romance and adversity, passions and pathos, despair and triumph.
You will recognize the characters who live in these pages. They are you. They are us. This is not only their story. It is our story.
“Long ago, I fell madly in love with Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry.… The splendor and adventure of THREADS WEST has now surpassed my love of McMurtry’s Western saga...packed with adventure, romance, history, conflict, and emotion.… Far more romantic/sexy than McMurtry ever wrote…a real feel of how the West was won, by men AND women.… Five stars is not enough!”
~ Eve Paludan, Two-time #1 National bestseller, Writer’s Digest Book Club
“Fluent and strong...sensual, evocative and unforgettable…compared to McMurtry’s Pulitzer-Prize-winning Lonesome Dove and Michener’s Centennial.… Rosenthal’s epic masterpiece will rival even some of Louis L’Amour’s best loved work.”
~ Lois Henderson, BookPleasures.com MA General Linguistics, AD Library/Information Science
















































Some ponderings from Reid:
When completed, this epic saga will be approximately three plus million words. With the expansion of the series to thirty three books, and based on extensive reader surveys, Book One, though a long running BN and Amazon best seller and winner of eight National Awards, was rewritten in the last months (eight new chapters, and additional one hundred plus pages). It releases today, July 4, for one day at $1.99 in ebook form via the Kindle Daily Deal! Our web site- www.threadwestseries.com - has links for Nook and Ipad users! July 2013 Reprint paper books will be on shelves and at the dot coms the last week of July, followed shortly thereafter by the release of Book Three, Uncompahgre-where water turns rock red.
Those who already have, or purchase a Collector's Book One by August 1 (assuming the limited number still at the dot coms or in-store don't run out earlier) need only keep their receipt, and send it, OR a pic of yourself holding a Collectors' Book One to www.threadswest.media@gmail.com to receive some fun coupons for great bennies during the release of Book Three!
This is a huge, multicultural story of us--one hundred seventy years of the adventure and romance of America, her people, her spirit and the West through the eyes of strong men, brave women, light and dark souls--often having neither country nor culture in common. I have always thought America to be a tapestry--and the West to be the loom. It is the separate origins, social pinning, ethnicity, cultures, ambitions, and motivations of the American people that form the whole cloth of the nation. The blend, conflict, torrid liaisons, and push-pull of these sometimes competing, other times shoulder to shoulder threads of lives is what makes us unique--the weave of differences into spirit and country--unlike other nations, which are mosaics.
Thank you readers--and enjoy!
Reid
