BROKEN
PROMISE, by James W. Etter
Coming-of-age
western based on a true Native American story. An orphaned Indian boy, after his father is shot and his
mother raped and killed by settlers, is left to fend for himself and must
adapt to the new white society of the 1800’s to find his destiny.
LONE TREE BENCH, by Tolan Harber
Western set in 1880’s Montana. A pioneer family traverses the wild
expanse of Montana, inspired by dreams of a good life on the untamed
frontier, but they struggle against the destructive forces of Mother Nature
and human desperation.
OUTLAW’S RETRIBUTION, by Robert Knowlson
Action western set in 1886. A young farmhand dreams of beyond
the remote town he lives in.
But when a corrupt official unearths gold, commercializes the town and
drives the farmhand away onto the open range, the youth battles to restore
honor to a way of life that the town will never see again.
FASTEST DRAW, by Gary Power
A dark, comic western a
la Little Big Man. A
super-fast wanted-poster artist known for his racial caricatures draws the
vengeful attention of those he had cruelly sketched in the past when he’s
summoned from Texas to Washington to design the 1876 silver dollar.
GOLD
MOUNTAIN, by B. Garfield
Western with
an African-American lead.
A buffalo soldier from the Indian Wars is tricked into taking part
in a complex bank robbery.
Left for dead, he becomes a lone avenger and hunts down a supergang
of racist outlaws with a fortune in gold bars – a one-man army against
fifty killers.
PAXTON
AT BOSWORTH FIELD, by Stanley Lombardo
Western fantasy with a Mark Twain
twist. A sharp-shooting buffalo hunter rides into an Apache medicine
cave and emerges in medieval England. His nineteenth-century weapons,
native-American skills, and knowledge of Shakespeare
enable him to change the course of history.
