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.
