About the author

Duane Boehm grew up on a farm outside of Petersburg, Illinois. All the time spent driving a tractor gave him plenty of opportunity to let his imagination run wild and not tear up too much equipment. The two passions he developed early in life were the love of playing guitar and reading books.

He eventually moved to a mini-farm outside of Murfreesboro, Tennessee with his wife and replaced planting corn with trees and raising dogs. For a number of years he worked as an IT consultant and continued with being a part-time musician and songwriter. He dabbled in writing short stories with the idea in the back of his mind that someday he would write a novel. One Christmas after watching "A Christmas Carol", he was inspired to begin his journey as a novelist.

Shane, Jody, Elka and Hilda use the reward money they got for catching two notorious outlaws to by a ranch. All is not peaches and cream. They have to fire the foreman and his buddy who turn around and kill some of the cattle and the best bull. Then there are the community members who like rumors better than the truth. The other ranchers don't like them much either. And rustlers to chase after. Very good story!

Good ending. Had trouble throughout the two books keeping straight who was with whom. Made the story disjointed and detracted from the enjoyment of reading the two books. Otherwise five stars. Have read all of his westerns I guess. Look forward to future books.
