About the author
Ash Lingam
197 books22 followersAsh Lingam was born and raised in Southern Ohio, not far from the mighty Ohio River. He had somewhat of an isolated upbringing on a family farm with his sisters. His best friends were his horse, Sugar, and his grandfather.
Born in 1886, the family patriarch grew crops, raised cattle, and doted on the young boy. At his grandfather’s side, Ash learned about livestock and firearms at an early age. His grandad carried an old Colt with him at all times, helping spawn a young boy’s dreams of yesteryear.
Ash was only eight years old when his grandad taught him how to trap muskrats to prevent them from draining the farm’s ponds. He gave him a double-barreled shotgun at twelve and taught him how to hunt to put food on the table.
It wasn’t long before Ash was breaking horses. His spirited Tennessee Walker never allowed any other rider on her back. Together, they searched through the plowed fields in the spring, looking for Miami Indian arrowheads to add to his grandfather’s ample collection.
Ash’s family was among the early settlers in pre-Revolutionary America. He has traced his lineage back to around 1746 when his ancestors immigrated from Europe to the aspiring American Colonies.
A retired marketing executive, Ash devotes his spare time to training police dogs and writing novels. He has found his niche in the Western, historical fiction, and adventure genres. With his vast vault of experience, he never runs out of sources for new stories. He has lived in eleven different countries and worked in a total of forty-six,
To date, Ash has written approximately 130 novels, short stories, and poems. More than one hundred of his eclectic titles help the American frontier come alive for his readers.

This group of misfits never tire of the jobs they are burdened with but takes each new challenge with a never ending gusto! Too, Mr. Johnson's outstanding selection of characters are the backbones of his superbly series if ongoing events! The good guys are always his best picks, but he is no slouch when he lines his bad guys up in their respective roles!

Good read.
Enjoyable read as it was the actual inevitable battle that was building from the beginning was just a puff of smoke. I read through the battle of Wood Duck before I realized it started and ended so quickly that I felt cheated.

Spine-tingling
Reading about the evil wrought by Wood Duck gave me chills. I had a hard time putting this novel down so I could eat and sleep. Great job, Ash.
