Bear Willis: Mountain Man: The Making Of A Mountain Man: Crooked Mountain Gold: A Seventh Mountain Man Adventure
The seventh Mountain man adventure in a rip-roaring series from Peter Alan Turner!
After the battle with Colonel Watkins and his band of gold seekers, Bear Willis finally fulfilled his promise to himself. With his new wife, Waity, friend Josh, and a great Irish Wolf Hound, they were heading South to El Paso, Texas.
However, the party was only one day on the trail when a rider appeared with an urgent message. Eric Willis, Bear's beloved six-foot-nine-inch grandfather. The one known as 'The Viking' was dead!
Eric's Paiute wife, Many Stars, sent the letter. She told how Eric was killed when he rushed into a collapsed mine to rescue the workers. Using his immense strength, the giant lifted a support beam, and the men escaped. But, sadly, even Eric's powerful muscles were no match for the mountain, and the 'The Viking’ was buried under tons of rock and debris.
Many Stars wrote that Eric's land has been taken by a ruthless rancher named Seth Rankin. According to the rancher, Eric owed him money and put up his land as collateral. As a result, Many Stars, unfamiliar with white man's ways, was forced off the propeerty.
Bear, seething with grief and rage, rushes back to help Many Stars. The mountain man soon finds himself battling not only a powerful rancher and his gunslicks but also a double-dealing sheriff for control of the land. Bear Willis will have to rely on his strength and wit and his fierce Irish Wolf Hound as they fight to return the land to Many Stars and solve the riddle of Crooked Mountain Gold.

About the author
Peter Alan Turner
72 books9 followersWriting has always been a lifelong dream. Finally, at 71 years young, that dream became a reality. I am honored to be part of Dusty Saddles Publishing, the leading publisher of Western Novels. Currently, I have several Western Series on Amazon: Chet Henderson: Texas Ranger Adventure Series, Bear Willis: Mountain Man Series, and Willie McGee: Mountain Man Series. Along with a co-write with my granddaughter.
In creating my Westerns, I wanted to do three things, be authentic, create likable characters, and tell a good story. With a lot of hard work and prayer, my books have been well received, so, I must be doing something right.
I live with my wife of fifty-three years and our cat Moxie on Rattlesnake Ridge. We are lucky that our children, grandchildren, and great-grandson all live close by. When I'm not writing, I enjoy woodcarving, fishing, and pampering my classic Jaguar.
I donate a portion of the profits from my books to Veteran charities, including the Veteran’s Independence Project.
