Killing outlaws is not what he set out to do, but sometimes, a man has to test his own mettle to know what he’s worth… Will Jed be able to keep his word to find Selena in the rough mining camps she’s run to? His future depends on his success—and her decision to return with him, or stay with the life she’s chosen. The letter in his pocket explains everything—if Jed lives long enough to find Selena amid the BLOOD ON BULL’S RUN…
EXCERPT:
Deming had
never killed a man, but he didn't let himself dwell on that now. He had hunted
plenty of game, and was sufficiently skilled with a musket. But the revolver
was less familiar in his hand, and this enemy was new, as well.
The Paiute
paused in his tracks at the edge of the juniper. He studied the trees. His eyes
swept over Deming, who could almost feel their dark, penetrating gaze.
Deming pulled
the trigger.
There was an
explosion and wood splintered a foot away from the Paiute's head. Unharmed, the
Indian dashed to the ground and rolled out of view. That was the last straw for
Rayo, who broke into a run out of the trees and up the canyon.

Kevin, I always love to see your books and short stories come across my desk. They are always pure western in every sense of the word, and this one is no exception. I loved the twists and turns--wonderful tale!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cheryl! I was thinking quite a lot about Jed Deming this past week as I just came back from a week of camping in the wilderness myself. I really liked that character. Reminds me of someone. :)
DeleteI love this line: "Deming had never killed a man, but he didn't let himself dwell on that now." I'm hooked.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your latest release and best of luck with buckets of sales. ;-)
Thanks, Kaye. It was a fun one to write!

ReplyDeleteThanks Doris -- hope you enjoy it!
DeleteCongratulations on the release of you new book.
ReplyDeleteI will have to get in touch with the library where I used to work. There were a lot of men (for a small county library) who read nothing but westerns. What was on hand they had read several times over. I don't remember them adding any to the collection while I was there except for a few paperbacks I brought in. I always like introducing people to new authors they might like. It is one of the things I miss the most about the job.
I really would appreciate that -- it's not easy to get read when you're new at this!
DeleteI can't wait to get my hands on this one. Love your stuff!!
