Bleak Valley
When Steve Hart and his wife Mary leave Texas, they look forward to an idyllic life in Bleak Valley.
The locals, however, have other ideas.
Wary of strangers and put out that the range they covet is being snatched away from under their feet, they make it their mission to kick the Harts out of Bleak Valley.
Their plan seems to be working when death threats nearly scare Steve and Mary away.
That is, until it’s uncovered the entire valley was left to them by the previous owner, and they reason they can’t not settle there now.
All too soon, though, shooting breaks out and further threats are made. Murder lingers in the air, and the future seems bleak.
It’ll take straight shooting and strong nerves if Hart wants to come out on top.
Gambling their lives and future, he perseveres for what is rightfully his until the very end in this gripping Western.
‘Transports you right back to the old west – fantastic!’ – Tom Casey, bestselling author of Trade Off

A Western About A Bounty Hunter/A Move From Texas To Kansas/Murder
NW has penned a western about a young man whose brother, a Deputy Sheriff, who is killed by three wanted outlaws. The young man sought vengeance and received a large sum in reward. The town turned against him and he visited his Uncle, actually a good friend of his father, who was selling his ranch to him, but the Uncle was murdered not the land. The Uncle left the ranch to the young man and his wife. They had to fight the trouble together. This is an excellent read for the genre.....DEHS

Double Dealing
A fast moving Western that will keep your fingers turning the pages to find out who is behind all the killings. I highly recommend this author.
