Rio Ruidoso
I’m excited to announce that Rio Ruidoso, the first book in my Three Rivers Trilogy on the Lincoln County War, was released this week as a Five Star Western from Gale, a Cengage Company. In many ways, this book was six decades in the making from the time I first visited Lincoln, New Mexico, as […]
First Herd No. 1
As of 3:30 p.m. today, barely 24 hours after its release, my new comic western First Herd to Abilene is No. 1 in Amazon’s Western Science Fiction category; No. 5 in Classic Humor Fiction; and No. 7 in Classic Historical Fiction. While I remain flummoxed about the Western Science Fiction category and its criteria, it’s […]
Western Science Fiction?
First Herd to Abilene was just released today as a Kindle Book and started out as No. 20 on Amazon’s Western Science Fiction list. Now I have no idea how it got on the Western Science Fiction list or exactly what Western Science Fiction is, but as of this writing it has moved up to […]

The Hope Chest
As of mid-December Amazon’s No. 1 Bestseller for historical fiction anthologies was the The Spoilt Quilt and Other Frontier Stories: Pioneering Women of the West, which includes my tale “The Hope Chest” among 16 short stories. As a result, I can now claim to be a best-selling author! Or, at least 1/16th of a best […]
Billy and Me
I’m pleased to post the cover for my upcoming Five Star novel Rio Ruidoso, the first book in my Three Rivers Trilogy on the Lincoln County War and Billy the Kid. The cover has a retro feel to it, like the art from the heyday of western novels. And to anyone who is interested, I […]
Family Tale
One of pleasures of doing genealogy in addition to learning about your forebears is that you come across such interesting family stories. One of those family legends provided the genesis for a short story I wrote for The Spoilt Quilt and Other Frontier Stories: Pioneering Women of the West, a Five-Star anthology scheduled for release […]
Lomax to Ride Again
Good news for the fans of H.H. Lomax as the fifth volume in the series should be out in the spring of 2020. Last month I sent off the manuscript to the publisher, Wild Horse Media, and the next volume in The Memoirs of H.H. Lomax has been added to the publication schedule. First Herd […]
The Writing Trail
In the life of a writer certain moments are particularly rewarding, such as seeing the cover art for the first time, getting your author’s copies or receiving a royalty check. For me the most gratifying event of them all is completing the first draft. Without it none of the other moments will follow and, most […]
