By way of introduction as well as disclosure, I'm a professional client of the author. Whenever I work with or alongside someone who publishes, I read what they put out. This necessitates that I read a lot of self published work by very passionate, very knowledgeable people who aren't practiced writers. Cowan's Hunting Winter is a breath of fresh air.
The novel is written with a developed clarity that surpasses not only most self published work but also the polished output of most of my favorite traditionally published writers. The settings are described in a quirky way that is faithful to reality. The characters are well developed and their emotions are carefully considered.
Because it is an action novel and involves a good deal of gunfighting, some of the characters spend a lot of time in a great deal of pain. Cowan's prose brutalizes without becoming a muddled slog the way that, say, Hemingway's does.
Yes, I just said that Cowan is a better writer than Ernest Hemingway. Get over it.
Why only four stars? Because Hunting Winter is the sort of sequel that will only capture your interest if you've read its predecessor, Rushing Winter. And Rushing Winter is every bit the self published work by a very passionate, very knowledgeable, unpracticed writer. I enjoyed it immensely, but it is rough hewn. If Cowan reissues his first novel with some tightened up copy editing, Hunting Winter becomes an instant five star novel.

Good read.
I loved the overall story. Being a grammar nazi hurts my ability to fully enjoy. Keep it up. Can’t wait for the next one.

I really like this author, very engaging with lots of action and plot twist keeps you on the edge of your seat not wanting to but the book down.
