The Widow Maker stood in the streets facing the saloon doors. "Come on out kid" don't make me come in and get you. The doors opened and the half-breed stepped out into the sun light.
Thunderhead Books One, Two, and Three The American West, especially between 1865 and the turn of the century, was an unforgiving and brutal place to be. Tempers flared as men continued to fight the Civil War on their own terms long after it had been decided. Meanwhile, natives, such as the Lakota Sioux, continued to resist being dispelled from their homelands. The Thunderhead trilogy is a historically accurate approach to the western genre. It is mixed with real and imaginary characters and takes place in the Dakota and Wyoming Territories between 1876 and 1877. Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, Jack McCall, Colorado Charlie Utter, California Joe Milner, Tim Brady, Wyatt Earp, and other figures are alive and well amid three fictional protagonists. Al Franklin, a photograph artist, befriends Hickok during his last days. "Spittoon" Nicky, a sporting girl, falls for an outlaw and follows him and his cohorts from mining town to mining town. Harvey McCafferty, a bounty hunter, relentlessly endeavors to collect the reward on those traveling with Nicky. Nicky's companions are a gang of road agents lead by the bloodthirsty Quick Maggie DeMarco, a formerly-abused young woman hellbent on finding and killing the man who murdered her family fourteen years ago. When Maggie DeMarco finally meets up with Maguire in Book Three, will she seek the revenge that has eluded her, or will she be content to walk away?
In a hail of thunder and gunfire, Jeston Nash fled a New Orleans billiards hall with a land deed in one hand, a blazing pistol in the other. He'd won his gamble with Quick Quintan Cordell fair and square. But in seconds, violence flared, Cordell lay dead, and Sheriff Pat Garret's promise still rang in Nash's ears ... somewhere, someday, they would meet again .... Jeston Nash learned about robbery from his cousin, Jesse James. But it was the wild outlaw Billy the Kid who taught him that even a wanted man is just a man. Nash catches up with the Kid in a dusty town of drunken bottle-shooters. Along with a scraggly band of gamblers and gunslingers, they ride for New Mexico, where, for Billy the Kid, freedom lies just beyond the border. For Nash, the enchanted land holds the chance to exchange his hard-won land deed for the beautiful and seductive Contessa Cortez. But their dreams turn to dust in the face of revolutionists, scalp hunters, and the deadliest threat of all-the determined Sheriff Pat Garret, who plans to take Nash down with the Kid, all in the name of justice.

Hunter Tilton thought his life was perfect. A job he loved and a woman who loved him. But people from both their pasts threatened to tear them apart. Colton Dagon wanted a trophy wife and he thought he found her in Nitika Brodie. When he found his woman in the arms of another man, Colton devised a plan to force Hunter out of her life. Dying father or not, Nitika wasn't about to let Hunter get away from her that easily. Using her skills learned from working for Allan Pinkerton, she followed Hunter to his childhood home. Once there she found a money hungry ex-fiance trying to get her hooks back in her man. No one did that to Nitika. Caught up in the scheme, Brady Huntington Sr thought he found a treasure chest when he joined forces with Colton Dagon. All he had to do was convince his oldest son that he was dying.

As sheriff of Rankin County, Axel Cooper holds the distinction of being the first elected Montana County Sheriff not born in the state in the last sixty years. Unfortunately for Cooper, he'll soon be known for much more than that. Montana's governor has just enlisted Cooper to act as the local liaison for a raid on a high-altitude, seasonal cattle ranch called Crestfallen. The raid's purpose is twofold: apprehend a federal fugitive and shut down a meth lab. Directed by U.S. Marshall Jack Hilton-described by some as General Patton on steroids-the operation takes a fateful turn when shots are fired and two men are dead. The shooter is Cooper, and one of the dead is an undercover FBI agent. Cooper contends the shooting was self-defense. But Hilton, looking for a scapegoat, charges that Cooper is nothing more than a revenge-seeking, rogue cop and should be prosecuted for the shooting. As Cooper probes more deeply into the incident gone awry at Crestfallen, he has more questions than answers. Something about the raid just doesn't seem right; he's determined to solve the riddle that could either end his career or his life.
This book details the story of a young man, a fictional character, Clem Barnett, during the late 1940's and 1950's, raised as a boy in the mid-west with dreams and visions, based on romantic books and movies, of being a cowboy in the West. He finds himself venturing far from his home in northeastern Oklahoma to hire-out on two very different ranches; first, one in Montana and later, one in Idaho. There, he learns about ranching, the cattle business, and most importantly, about life. He also learns what the modern, for the time period, cowboy is and how it differs greatly from his romantic vision. He faces many adventures and interacts with a host of colorful characters in search of his dreams. Because the story occurs in the early 1950's, the young man is faced with the horrors of participating in the Korean War, and more importantly, facing the emotional effects thereafter. Unlikely characters assist in his recovery and he gains respect and love for the people of the Basque culture who helped him. The story ends with a simple love story and a realization that dreams can be elusive. In the end, he finds peace and happiness and seems to come close to living the life of the romantic cowboy he envisioned. Others see in him a person who so loves the life of a cowboy and confers upon him the title of the last romantic, real life, American Cowboy.
Pierce Black, a stereotypical, heartless cold-blooded murderer, is on the loose. Pedro Luan, the worst possible man-monster, is slashing and killing innocent women. A band of nightriders are destroying the crops, livestock and buildings of innocent ranchers. They get orders from a mysterious unknown who calls himself "Ben." Such is the world around Snake Eyes, Colorado, in the early 1890's. The rancher Max Jason and his family are caught in the middle, and will have to fight to survive. The Sons of the Double-J include Wes, the retired gunfighter; Fran, the intellectual philosopher; Mike, the skilled craftsman; and Alex, the fun-loving cowboy. Sylvia, the teen-aged sister, strives to be respected as much as the men in her family are. There is also a young town marshal, Nick Fain, who is smart, but untested. This is the story of each, and how they live and love and fight against the evil forces that surround them. As the vandalism and murder continues, each member of the Jason family will face a crises, alone. In each case, it will be a matter of life or death.

He always brought home to his mother the money and other valuables he robbed. danger, romance, bravery, and good old-fashioned western justice to provide an exhilarating ride through the lawless wasteland of the Old West.
It all started with one letter. It was unopened, unscathed, unread, and hidden in one of Dr. John Henry Holliday's traveling cases. The letter's dark secret revealed that Doc, thirteen years prior, fathered a child, with his beloved cousin, Martha Ann Holliday. With this revelation came a morbid, cynical twist to fate that would forever change each participants life forever. * * * An adventurous tale about Doctor John Henry Holliday. A very educated and refined southern boy, who had survived the Civil War, and grew up to become a respected Dentist, but became plagued with tuberculosis at a very young age, and traded his status in life, along with family and friends in Georgia, to travel west and try to improve his health. However, in the course of time he became a gambler, fearless gunfighter, and at times would engage in wild business ventures. His life has intrigued us because he was unusual and not by any means typical to most men who would have visited wild and unsettled cow towns. Written from a fresh prospective, of what could have been true in the dark secretive life of one of America's legendary western hero's. He is joined by his best friend and colleague, Wyatt Earp, as well as a companion, and known prostitute, Kate Fisher, who was better known as "Big Nose Kate," and his beloved cousin, Martha Ann Holliday, whom Doc had always had a special bond with, and whom became a nun after Doc left and went west. This is a story full of surprises, cattle rustling, murder, gambling, deceitful acquaintances and adventurous fun. This is the first of five highly anticipated fictional novels, others will be about growing up during the Civil War, traveling from one cow town to another, Tombstone adventures, and the revealing of many secrets that one man, none other than the infamous Doc Holliday, held deep within his ravaged body. So sit down, Partner, saddle up and enjoy this heart-pounding ride.
