Way back in ye olden days of 2016 (which feels like roughly a million years ago at this point), I sat down to write a gritty little neo-Western that I eventually titled "Boise Longpig Hunting Club."

I didn't intend to write a sequel, but after "Boise" sold really well for an indie crime novel, I set pen to paper (er, fingers to keyboard) again and produced "Rattlesnake Rodeo."

Both books followed Jake Halligan, an Iraq War veteran suffering from severe PTSD, and his gun-running sister Frankie as they tackled various scumbags and crime lords in Boise and other parts of Idaho. "Rattlesnake Rodeo" ended on an ambiguous note, with Frankie grievously injured and Jake wondering what to do with the rest of his life.

I never intended to write a third book in the series, but then Rock and a Hard Place Press asked me if I had any ideas on that front, and -- hey presto! -- I did. The result is RIGHTEOUS TRASH, which (surprise!) is dropping today. I hope you pick up a copy from your local paperback and/or e-book emporium.

And once you've read it, of course, I'd be even more indebted if you left a review on this-here Goodreads platform. Thank you so much for your continued support!
