Saddle up for adventure! A New Frontier brings together in one rousing volume the first four of Brock and Bodie Thoene's frontier novels. Set in the rugged landscape of early California with its parched deserts, untamed wilderness, treacherous hills, and rough towns this quartet of stand-alone novels tells the stories of four very different men who must face the greatest challenges of their lives. Only faith and raw courage can see them through. But in that wild country will it be enough? Sparkling with the breathtaking settings, historically authentic details, and believable characters the Thoenes are known for, A New Frontier gallops away with thrilling edge-of-your-saddle adventure carefully seasoned with good values and just a sprinkling of tender romance. It's an exciting ride western lovers will never forget.
BODIE AND BROCK THOENE (pronounced Tay-nee) have written over 45 works of historical fiction. These best sellers have sold more than 10 million copies and won eight ECPA Gold Medallion Awards.
Bodie began her writing career as a teen journalist for her local newspaper. Eventually her byline appeared in prestigious periodicals such as U.S. News and World Report, The American West, and The Saturday Evening Post. She also worked for John Wayne’s Batjac Productions (she’s best known as author of The Fall Guy) and ABC Circle Films as a writer and researcher. John Wayne described her as “a writer with talent that captures the people and the times!” She has degrees in journalism and communications.
Bodie and Brock have four grown children—Rachel, Jake, Luke, and Ellie—and five grandchildren. Their sons, Jake and Luke, are carrying on the Thoene family talent as the next generation of writers, and Luke produces the Thoene audiobooks.
Bodie and Brock divide their time between London and Nevada.
