The Trail to Taos
This exciting, yet emotionally charged Western follows the life of Abel Spence, a young man who sets out from his farm in Southern Colorado to search for the person involved in the death of his younger sister.
The trail leads him into a volatile range war between two cattle ranchers in the rugged, mountainous country around Taos, New Mexico.
Abel’s life also becomes entangled with two young ladies, one the daughter of one of the ranchers, and the other, a woman being pursued by an angry and vicious saloon boss demanding the return of his “property.”
This action-packed tale provides both adventure and romance. It also includes some surprising humor that pops up at awkward times, making the story resemble real-life situations.

Incident at Cat Canyon
In the stirring Western Incident at Cat Canyon, newspaperman Gil Forrester has just completed an interview with a blustery old Senator in Arizona at the hanging of “Ol’ Whiskers,” Pete Enderson. Heading back home, things are turned upside down when Gil is captured by a renegade Indian, who exacts a plan of revenge after being humiliated by Gil. Follow along as Gil makes a daring escape in a torturous barefoot run for his life.
Gil’s challenges, as a newspaperman turned deputy Sheriff, are tempered by a love consummated in marriage, only to be lost through a tragic accident until a renewal of life is found in a most unexpected relationship.
There’s plenty of old-fashioned adventure, romance, trials of life, and surprising humor that comes at the most awkward of times. In other words, all the elements of real life are written in a most satisfying way for fans of Westerns.
