The Day of the Deputy
Stanton Brunner has always lived in the shadow of famous lawmen. His father is a respected town sheriff, his grandfather a legendary, retired U.S. Marshal. But Stan never wanted to have it out with the bandits of the world, and was content to live the quiet life of a frontier town gunsmith. This comes to a crashing end when Bloody Brit Talmadge and his band of outlaws ride into town. Talmadge is a hardened killer with a cruel philosophy to match. He means to rule the town and surrounding valley with an iron fist, and that requires eliminating all who might challenge him. When tragedy strikes Stan’s family at Talmadge’s hands, the young man finds himself with a choice: slink away and do nothing, or take up the badge where no one else will. If he stays and fights, he faces seasoned killers who have him outnumbered, and have the townsfolk running scared. Stan, on the other hand, has never shot at a man, never enforced the law, and never really been in a serious fight. Beyond his inexperience, he’s also torn between a duty to see justice done, and a seething, justifiable desire for revenge. About the only thing the man has going for him is courage, and soon enough that courage will be the only thing standing between a small town and complete annihilation.

New western, COLTER'S VENGEANCE, now up for PRE-ORDER!
Now available for pre-order, COLTER'S VENGEANCE:
How far does a man go to put war behind him? Colter Gaines went all the way to the wilds of the frontier, hoping to set up a peaceful life on a ranch with his wife and young daughter. For a few years, he had just that, even if his marriage was collapsing and his ranch teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. Yet compared to what he had known in the army, eking out a living with his daughter was a godsend. But when he finds the body of a Blackfoot teen on his land, a chain of events is set off that ends in horrible tragedy.
Now Colter is seeking revenge, and the violent man of old has returned. The real threat of his enemies does not frighten him. The power of the law cannot change his mind. Even close friends cannot dissuade him from his quest. The thirst for vengeance is all that remains. But his quest does not turn out to be as easy as it first seems, and his enemies might not be what they first appeared. Colter comes to realize that powers he’d never considered might be involved, and the cost of his revenge greater than he could ever imagine. But when a man has nothing left the unimaginable is nothing, and his foes will learn there are people out there that all the money and power in the world cannot stop…
