One Man. One Gun. One Law.
A Western anthology from Pinnacle Books features "Two-Bit Kill" by C. Courtney Joyner a tale of a decades-old grudge between two outlaws that comes to a head in a barber shop. Courtney's story is featured alongside such legendary western writers as Johnny Boggs, William Johnstone, Loren D. Estleman, Andrew Fenady, Elmer Kelton and the great John Jakes.
From the Book Cover:
It's an American icon: the Western shootist, living by skill, courage and a willingness to spit in death's eye. Now, the greatest names in Western literature turn this mythical character upside down, inside out and every way but loose...
In The Trouble with Dude, award-winning author Johnny Boggs saddles a once-famous lawman with some high-paying New York dudes in search of Western thrills who get more than they bargained for; in Uncle Jeff and the Gunfighter Western master storyteller Elmer Kelton chronicles a quarrel between a hardscrabble Texas rancher and a killer for hire- with results that stun a town...William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone offer Inferno: A Last Gunfighter Story featuring series hero Frank Morgan. From a pistol-[packing woman to a freed slave heading into a Nebraska winter and an education in gun fighting, The Law of the Gun is about journeys, vendettas, stand-offs, and legends that end-or sometimes just begin-with the roar of a gun...
C. Courtney Joyner contributes The Two-bit Kill
At the 2011 Western Writers of American conference, C. Courtney Joyner was presented with The President's Award for "Outstanding Service to WWA" by Chairman Paul Andrew Hutton and WWA's Johnny Boggs. Courtney has been a judge for the prestigious WWA Spur Awards for Drama and Documentary Writing for the last five years, and has served on numerous writing panels, with a focus on the current western market and screenwriting.

A Double-Barreled Avenger Is Born
"Dr. John Bishop thought he'd seen his share of death on the battlefields of America's great Civil War. Then his quiet life was shattered when a gang of outlaws invaded his home, killed his family, and tortured him within an inch of his life. John Bishop's soul may have died that day, but his mangled body lived on. A beautiful Cheyenne named White Fox nursed him back to health--and a gunsmith outfitted him with a special shotgun rig where his left arm used to be. A strap across one shoulder fires it, while the chip on the other fuels his quest for vengeance. Now the man called Shotgun rides deep into the Colorado winter to find and kill the men who murdered everything he once held dear. The hunt will lead him straight to the heart of a fiendish criminal conspiracy--and force him to confront the violent legacy of his own outlaw brother."

The story continues...!
John "Shotgun" Bishop has tangled with plenty of lowlifes in his time--and he's got the missing limb to prove it. But few sink as low as his own brother Devlin, a crazy-mean cuss who'd steal the horns off the devil himself. This time, Dev's got his cold black heart set on taking over John Chisum's land, destroying the cattle king's dream of building a new town and laying down tracks for the railroad. So Chisum hires Shotgun and his Cheyenne partner, White Fox, to protect his investment. But when the Bishop family feud turns into an all-out turf war, Shotgun ends up on the wrong side of the law--stuck in the middle between the devil he knows and two deadly new players. Their names are Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett. And this time, there will be blood. . .

From the Publisher:
1800’s American West—a place where men find themselves in harsh and cruel circumstances and where lives are short lived. Where women are hard as the steel of a gun, and the sweet burn of whiskey eases the rough, ratted edges. Where death is a pill that must be swallowed, and senses are developed beyond true human comprehension . . .
Honest work on the frontier was sometimes hard to acquire. Traveling independently on the expansive road through the west, cowboy and westerner Tomas H. Elkman is a man of the times. To ease the loneliness of the trail while searching for gainful employment, Elkman warily teams up with a fight-prone, good-timing gambler by the name of Jefferson McGredy.
This strange pairing of men is hired to deliver an assemblage of horses to a ranch in the untamed northern territory. The rancher sends his young son, Kent Martin, to accompany the horsemen on their travels through mountains and rivers, across primitive landscapes, and into remnants of mining boomtowns. The journey becomes a constant challenge to their moral fiber as they face the overwhelming hardships of hostile weather, rustlers, and natives . . .
T. H. Elkman is a story of frontier grit, moral simplicity, individuality and consequential violence in the American West.

About the Book from the Author:
Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, Wild Bill Hickok: most people could recount a few details, at least, of the lives of such celebrated Old West figures, whose fame rests mainly upon their exploits as lawmen. Though they are icons today, these men represent only a small fraction of the vast number who risked everything to bring law and order to the frontier. Many other “law dogs” of the untamed West engaged in exploits rivaling or surpassing those of their renowned contemporaries, yet their names are little, if at all, known today. They’ve been overlooked, forgotten, or - in the parlance of their day - “disremembered.” A key reason is that many of these men died in the line of duty, careers and lives cut short and any chance at lasting glory buried with them. They were truly “the numberless unknown heroes, equal to the greatest heroes known.”
This book is intended as a tribute to such men, giving a small sampling of them – fourteen in all - their long-awaited due. In these accounts of their careers and untimely deaths readers will find true tales as exciting and engaging as any told about the usual suspects - already the heroes of countless dime novels, books, films, and television shows.

From our Purveyor of Children's Books:
It's always exciting to discover a new title that takes a fresh look at a much loved story. J.R. Sanders has done just that with this book loosely based on the character of "Little Joe" from the iconic Western ballad, "Little Joe the Wrangler."
Synopsis:
New York City orphan Joe Monday dreams of finding a family and of being a cowboy. Things look up when he's sent West on an "orphan train," until he ends up with a pair of pig farmers who only want the free labor he provides. Joe runs away with a cattle drive headed north from Texas, though the cowboys are unsure of their young tag-along. But when disaster strikes, Joe proves that even a kid can be a hero, and learns that dreams really can come true.

2020 Congratulations to author Janet Squires on the 14th Anniversary of her popular children's book The Gingerbread Cowboy!
"PreSchool-Grade 3-A delightful, infectiously cheeryful, Southwestern rendition of a familiar story. Phrases used to describe biscuits, such as plump pillows, soft as clouds, and tasty as a big Texas barbecue, just roll off the tongue. Bow-legged and dressed in a vest, boots, hat, and a big belt buckle, the Gingerbread Cowboy teases: "Giddyup, giddyup as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man" and includes an added refrain, and "raced away as fast as his boots could carry him". The lively text demands to be read aloud.

About The Book:
Ninety five years ago, born into a destiny of horses, a man used them to work the land. Farming in the Midwest was bleak and harsh at best. If you stand in one place for too long you will be hit by lightning. Having worked the land for so long, it actually took being hit by lightning to appreciate doing something different. He rode the Continental Divide with the governor of Minnesota on horseback. The divide offered breath taking views of Colorado's Mt.Elbert to a lonely hill of destiny in New Mexico. His daughter, Katie carried on the tradition of love and obsession for horses. She experienced firsthand the love and loss of these great creatures. She became a licensed therapist in California, and found a way to incorporate horses into her practice. Along the way the human and horse friends transformed her. Part Memoir, part educational, nearly 100 years of true horse stories.

"A great story by a wonderful author."-#1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber
Welcome to Two-Time Texas:
Where tempers burn hot, Love runs deep
And a single marriage can unite a feuding town...or tear it apart for good
In the wild and untamed West, time is set by the local jeweler...but Two-Time Texas has two: two feuding jewelers and two wildly conflicting time zones. Meg Lockwood's marriage was supposed to unite the families and finally bring peace. But when she's left at the altar by her no-good fiancé, Meg's dreams of dragging her quarrelsome neighbors into a ceasefire are dashed.
No wedding bells? No one-time town.
Hired to defend the groom against a breach of promise lawsuit, Grant Garrison quickly realizes that the only thing worse than small-town trouble is falling for the jilted bride. But there's something about Meg's sweet smile and determined grit that draws him in...even as the whole crazy town seems set on keeping them apart.
Who knew being Left at the Altar could be such sweet, clean, madcap fun?

From the Publisher:
One man finds himself torn between two cultures in this sweeping tale of frontier life in post–Civil War era Texas.
In the years following the American War Between the States, the once vacated military presence in west Texas is on the rise to protect the waves of settlers moving into the region. Living peaceably with the Mescalero Apache, half-breed former military scout Holton Lang promotes the tentative harmony between the US cavalry and the Native American population.
But when the delicate peace between the two nations is broken, Holton is asked to negotiate a new agreement with the US military at Fort Davis. Angered by Holton and his respected position in the Apache camp, brave Stalking Wolf joins other hostile warriors in bloody warfare against the white settlers and blue-coated military. Leaving behind his Apache wife and the domestic life he was building, Holton journeys back to his former home in white civilization for talks of peace. When the battle becomes personal, Holton is finally forced to confront the chasm that separates the two worlds into which he was born.
Written in the style of the traditional John Ford/John Wayne cavalry pictures, West to Bravo evokes an era of classic Western fiction and paints an exciting and touching tale of one man stuck in the middle of a terrible conflict.

From Singer/Songwriter John Bergstrom:
Somewhere between Gene Autry and Burl Ives, this CD is full of the humor and pathos of the Old West. "Throw Down the Box" is my second project presenting original and traditional songs of adventure, tragedy and fun in the West.
The title song, "Throw Down the Box" tells the story of the Northern California outlaw Black Bart, also called the Gentleman Bandit. Another outlaw ballad is "Salomon Pico." Pico, a member of one of the prominent families in pre-Gold Rush California, legend has it became an outlaw as an act of revenge. You'll also find songs about the great Sidekicks of Western movies, life in the high desert, and a couple of traditional songs, "Frankie and Johnny," and "The Philosophical Cowboy," to round out the program.

From Singer/Songwriter John Bergstrom:
I'm a child of the west...the far west...Los Angeles. I'm a city kid who has always loved the open spaces. I was raised on cowboy movies and western displays at museums wherever I could find them.
A few years ago, I attended a concert performed by Michael Fleming's group, New West. There began my journey with the WMA (Western Music Association). I was invited to a Sunday jam and I began to learn and write Western music.
I've been involved with music all my life and have touched western music at various times. It's been these last few years, however, in which I focused on this form of traditional music to the exclusion of others. During this time, I played with two or three groups and began to write and work on my own CD, "Western State O'Mind." I look forward to the days ahead and plan to continue writing and performing and spreading the good news of western music. "Western State O'Mind" is a combination of original and traditional songs.
